Rome (Italian: Roma) is the capital city of Italy. Rome, Caput mundi ("capital of the world"), la Città Eterna ("the Eternal City"), Limen Apostolorum ("threshold of the Apostles"), la città dei sette colli ("the city of the seven hills") or simply l'Urbe ("the City"), is thoroughly modern and cosmopolitan.
The immense scale of St. Peter's Basilica is hard to fathom even when standing at the east end of the central nave.
Notre-Dame Basilica in the old town district of Montreal opened in 1829. It was the largest religious edifice in North America at that time.
