In 1725, an equestrian statue of Charlemagne was made by the Italian artist Agostino Cornacchini. The statue stands to the left of the portico of the current St. Peter's Basilica3. The statue pays tribute to the emperor and his role in the history of the church and European culture. The statue is a counterpart to the statue of Constantine the Great, which stands to the right of the portico and was made by Bernini3. Both emperors are seen as important figures in the spread of Christianity.

Charlemagne, or Charlemagne, was a famous Frankish king and the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He was crowned in Old St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Day in the year 800. He is considered one of the founding fathers of Europe and a protector of the Catholic Church.

Charlemagne can be seen from far away. A beautiful statue with a background painting.

The statue stands above the ticket booth facing the dome.
