Old Saint Peter’s Basilica was the building that stood, from the 4th to 16th centuries, on the spot where the Basilica of Saint Peter stands today in Rome. Construction of the Basilica, built over the historical site of the Circus of Nero, began during the reign of emperor Constantine I. The name Old Saint Peter’s Basilica has been used since the construction of the current basilica to distinguish the two buildings.[1]
