The present church was built after the fire of 1844. It exhibits a neoclassical construction, decorated with one of the largest organ in South America, a large lamp of Sevillian origin, a French neo-Gothic pulpit, Carrara marbles and wood carving. It is also one of the 70 churches in the world authorized to display the banner of the Vatican.

A Christian church of the basilic type. The monument is named conditionally according to the year of opening.

Before the construction of the basilica, there was a synagogue building in its place, built at the end of the IV century. To this building belong the finds of a plate with the image of a minor, frescoes with inscriptions in Hebrew and a section of mosaic floor.

 

Христианский храм базиликального типа. Памятник назван условно по году открытия.

До строительства базилики на её месте существовало здание синагоги, построенное в конце IV в. Этому зданию принадлежат находки плиты с изображением миноры, фрески с надписями на иврите и участок мозаичного пола.

The frieze of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is, in 2-meter high black-blue letters on a gold background, the text from Mat. 16:18-19: to read:

 

‘Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam et tibi dabo claves regni Caelorum’

 

(‘You are Peter; on that rock I will build my church [….] and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven’). St. Peter's was built on the spot where, according to tradition, the apostle Peter, the ‘first pope’, was crucified and buried.

The Oudenbosch Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in the Dutch village of Oudenbosch. The basilica is named after Agatha of Sicily and Barbara of Nicomedia, two Christian martyrs from the third century. It was built at the initiative of Willem Hellemons who was parish priest between 1842 and 1884. Its nave and interior were modeled after St. Peter's Basilica, while the facade is a replica of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, both located in Rome. The basilica was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers. Construction began in 1865 but was not fully completed until 1892. The basilica is unique in the region in that it is relatively large with a classical Italian appearance that is atypical for most of northern Europe, let alone a small town in North Brabant.

Dutch Papal Zouaves and local Catholics gathered in Oudenbosch and left for Rome in 1868 to defend the Papal State against Giuseppe Garibaldi's Italian nationalist army. Therefore Pope Pius IX agreed to build a relatively big basilica in a small place.[citation needed] Originally a church, it was designated a minor basilica in 1912. A piece of the cloak Pope John Paul II wore during the 1981 assassination attempt is kept there as a relic.

Elements inspired by their counterparts in Rome include Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's baldachin, the Chair of Saint Peter, and Bernini's Gloria.

  

In Dyersville, Iowa, the Basilica (from the Greek meaning "Royal House") features Gothic Revival architecture. The two steeples are 212 feet (65 m) tall with 14 feet (4.3 m) crosses that cap the spires. This helps make the church visible from miles away across the rolling farmland. Pilots often use these steeples as landmarks during flights. The interior of the church is decorated with a number of paintings and frescoes, and 64 large cathedral glass windows. We grew up near here.
