In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to suggest the heliocentric model. His thought on the matter was that the sun was in the centre of universe, and that the earth, along with the other planets, rotated around it.

What was believed to be the center of our solar system?

The name "solar" says it all - "solar" means SUN. IT has ALWAYS been recognized that the SUN is the center of the "solar system". Perhaps you meant to ask a different question - like "what was the belief BEFORE the recognition of the heliocentric (solar system) model?" - in which case the answer would be that the EARTH - particularly the Vatican in Rome was believed to be the center of the Universe.
