Did St. Peter die in Rome?

Indeed, he was executed in Rome, under Nero. For more of the details available to us, please see the web site:The Death of St. Peter Martyr The Church has reverenced St. Peter's tomb since the first century. When Christianity became legal, one of the first things they did was to build a church over his tomb. That Church has disintegrated, and a new one has been built there. It is called St. Peter's Basilica, and you can go there right now, take a plane to Rome, a taxi to the Vatican, and take the stairway down under the main altar. In the Crypt, you can peer through a bulletproof glass at the actual tomb of St. Peter, which is exactly where they buried him in Romeafter his execution there.
