===Influence on church architecture===
The design of St. Peter's Basilica, and in particular its dome, has greatly influenced [[church architecture]] in [[Western Christianity|Western Christendom]]. Within Rome, the huge domed church of [[Sant'Andrea della Valle]] was designed by Giacomo della Porta before the completion of St Peter's Basilica, and subsequently worked on by Carlo Maderno. This was followed by the domes of [[San Carlo ai Catinari]], [[Sant'Agnese in Agone]], and many others. [[Christopher Wren]]'s dome at [[St Paul's Cathedral]] ([[London]], England), the domes of [[Karlskirche]] ([[Vienna]], Austria), [[St. Nicholas Church (Malá Strana)|St. Nicholas Church]] ([[Prague]], Czech Republic), and the [[Pantheon, Paris|Pantheon]] ([[Paris]], France) all pay [[Homage (feudal)|homage]] to St Peter's Basilica.

The 19th and early-20th-century architectural revivals brought about the building of a great number of churches that imitate elements of St Peter's to a greater or lesser degree, including [[St. Mary of the Angels in Chicago]], [[St. Josaphat's Basilica]] in [[Milwaukee]], [[Immaculate Heart of Mary in Pittsburgh]] and [[Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral]] in [[Montreal]], which replicates many aspects of St Peter's on a smaller scale. [[Postmodern architecture|Postmodernism]] has seen free adaptations of St Peter's in the [[Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń]], and the [[Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro]].
