Thanks for the info. Were you able to see the tomb of Peter and any of his remains?

If I recall well enough, this was in 83 time frame. The so called tomb is about what looks to be rectangular in shape 2’x1’, not very big. I don’t recall being able to see inside. A multitude of similar tombs are pushed around so as to get as close to Peter as possible. That is one of the reasons they believe it was Peter’s grave. I believe there was an inscription on one of the graves stating the Peter was nearby as well. This is what I remember although somewhat hazy, after 30 + years.

I was there a few years ago. At that time you had to write at least a month in advance a formal request to be allowed to join a tour into the site. When there you could see the tomb, but it had clear barriers between you and it for obvious reasons. Through an opening that was made you could see a bit of bone.
