Iglesia de San Pedro, Minor basilica in Los Chaguaramos, Caracas, Venezuela.
The basilica features a Greek cross layout with a central dome visible from multiple locations throughout Caracas, incorporating marble-covered brick walls and reinforced concrete.
The first stone was blessed by the Archbishop of Caracas during Pope Pius XII's pontificate on June 29, 1953, with the basilica's inauguration occurring in 1959.
The interior contains artistic treasures including altars from 1701, transferred from the Visitation Convent of Saint Mary in San Remo, Italy, and mosaics depicting Venezuelan state emblems.
Located in the Libertador Municipality of Caracas, the basilica remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements.
The structure stands as a scaled replica of Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, designed by Vatican architect Marco Redini with specific adaptations for the Venezuelan context.
