Rome is the fourth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits. The city has three skyscrapers above 100 m (328 ft) (one building is still under construction) and several skyscrapers between 70 m (230 ft) and 100 m (328 ft) for a total of about ten skyscrapers above 70 m (230 ft), most of which lie in EUR, which is located south of the historic centre of Rome. No building of the historic centre of Rome is taller than St. Peter's Basilica (136.6 m (448 ft)), which dominates the skyline of the city.
