San Pietro in Vincoli, St. Peter in Chains, is a smaller basilica near the Coloseum that houses the chains that bound St. Peter. The basilica was first built in the middle of the 5th century to house the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter while imprisoned in Jerusalem. Michelangelo's Moses, which dates from 1515, is the most notable piece of artwork in the basilica.
