Figures
Associated figures
Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.
What this means
Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

Julius IINamed as founder pope of the Catholic Church from 1503 to 1513 (1443–1513)
Site history & evidence
What is documented here
Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.
| Evidence | On record | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site date | Dated from 18 April 1506 CE On the timeline | A date for the site as recorded — not the start of worship, and not a floor on the tradition here. |
| Location | Recorded to the site On the atlas | A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent. |
| Dated activity | None recorded | A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at St. Peter's Basilica, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity. |

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.
What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

History
Recorded events
What St. Peter's Basilica’s own record names in its history, in the order of the dates on the statements.
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.
