That is questionable...there is no direct evidence that Peter ever went to Rome, or was considered the first “Pope”.

Except that St. Peter's Basilica is built on St. Peter's tomb, and that of St. Paul's as well.

Begging pardon, but the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls is built over St. Paul's tomb. The current building was constructed in the 19th century over top of the ruins of the original that burned. I was there last summer.
