This memorial, located in the Valley of the Fallen in Spain, was conceived by Fernando Franco, dictator of Spain, to honor those killed in the Spanish Civil War. The memorial contains one of the world's largest basilicas, which was hollowed out of a granite ridge. The cross, also of granite, is one of the world's tallest. Franco was buried in the basilica.

Neither is St. Peter’s in Rome. They’re basilicas.
