Pope Francis has been laid to rest at the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica.
The late pontiff's entombment was a private event which allowed those close to him to pay their last respects.
This was after a funeral Mass at the Vatican.
Thousands of people, including world leaders and monarchs witnessed Pope Francis' funeral mass at St Peter's Basilica on Saturday.
From there, the coffin carrying the pontiff's corpse was transported to Santa Maria Maggiore basilica where it was entombed.
Mourners queued up along the streets to witness as his corpse was moved from the Vatican to his final resting place.
The late Argentine is the first in over a century to be buried outside the Vatican.
Speaking during the funeral, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, said the Catholic pontiff “touched minds and hearts” and wanted to “build bridges, not walls.”
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88. In his final moment, the deceased suffered a stroke, coma, and a heart failure.
Burying Pope Francis at St. Mary Major in the Pauline Chapel followed the request he wrote in his spiritual testament.
The Pauline Chapel houses the ancient icon of Maria Salus Populi Romani.
His death was confirmed through electrocardiographic thanatography.
Pope Francis was admitted at Gemelli hospital in Rome on February 14 after suffering from pneumonia in both lungs.
The Vatican, however, claimed that the Pope was making progress in recent days that followed.
He was later allowed to return home after his health condition improved.
