Rome is considered the center of Christianity primarily due to its historical significance as the seat of the papacy and the location of St. Peter's Basilica, believed to be built over the burial site of St. Peter, one of Jesus' apostles and the first pope. Additionally, after the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, which granted religious tolerance, Rome became a key political and spiritual center for the growing Christian community. In contrast, while Jerusalem holds immense historical and spiritual importance as the site of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, its status was overshadowed by Rome's political influence and the establishment of the church there. Thus, Rome evolved into the heart of Christianity as the faith spread throughout the Roman Empire and beyond.
