Gaeta.Sanctuary of the Split Mountain
The Sanctuary of the SS. Trinità was built in the 11th century by Benedictine monks on a slope of Monte d'Orlando but the current configuration of the complex dates back to the end of the 17th century and incorporates elements of the Neapolitan and Spanish baroque. Numerous popes, sovereign bishops and saints prayed in this sanctuary including Pope Pius IX, Bernardino of Siena, Ignazio di Loyola, Leonardo da Porto Maurizio, San Paolo della Croce, Gaspare del Bufalo and San Filippo Neri. Legend has it that San Filippo Neri lived inside the Montagna Spaccata, finding refuge on a stone bed now known as the "bed of San Filippo Neri". Along the walls of the rock, it is possible to admire majolica panels depicting the Via Crucis, dating back to 1849 and attributed to S. Bernardino da Siena, containing the verses of Metastasio. In 1434 from the top of the two rock ridges that gave rise to the name of "split mountain" a boulder came off and got stuck further down between the walls of the cleft. A small chapel dedicated to the Crucifix was built on it (14th century).

Roma. Papal Major Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican
St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, officially the Papal Major Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, is a Roman Catholic basilica located in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City state; it is a masterpiece of Italian art and one of the symbols of Rome, of which it dominates the panorama. It is the largest of Rome's four papal basilicas and is often described as the largest church in the world both for its size and, metaphorically, for its importance as a center of Catholicism. However, it is not the cathedral church of the Roman diocese since this title belongs to the basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, which is also the first in dignity being the Mother and Head of all the Churches of the City and of the World. As a papal chapel, located adjacent to the Apostolic Palace, St. Peter's Basilica is the seat of the main manifestations of Catholic worship and is therefore in solemn function on the occasion of the main papal celebrations. Under the pontificate of Pius IX it hosted the sessions of the First Vatican Council and under Pope John XXIII and Paul VI those of the Second Vatican Council. In addition to its liturgical importance, due to its thousand-year history, the workers involved, the exceptional technical and artistic quality, as well as the enormous and lasting influence it exerted on later architecture, St. Peter's basilica is widely considered one of the absolute masterpieces and one of the most important achievements in the history of architecture, and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site called Vatican City and established in 1984.
