St Peters

Rome's largest church

St Peters is a city in Missouri, part of the St.

Louis metropolitan area.

The name, like many places called St.

Peter's or St.

Peters, honors the apostle Peter.

Without context, the phrase likely refers to St.

Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, the world's largest church: We visited St Peters when we were in Rome.
