This all depends on the type of Christianity. In Roman Catholicism, the Holy City is the Vatican City in Rome. It is where St. Peter's Basilica is. It is considered extremely holy because Peter, the first Pope and a disciple of Jesus, was buried there. In Orthodox Christianity, the Holy City was Constantinople or Byzantium (now Istanbul), before the Ottomans conquered it. Finally, in Russian Orthodox, Moscow is considered to be the Holy City, and is where St. Basil's Cathedral is located.
