St. Peter's Square

St. Peter's Square is among the most famous squares in the world. It is a symbol not only of spirituality but also of culture, being among the greatest architectural works of the Western world. To understand its magnificence you have to look at it from above and you can do this by climbing inside the Dome of St. Peter. Inside the Basilica there are signs leading to the ticket office to go up to the Dome (the Basilica can be visited for free). The view you can admire from those 140 meters is unique and worth every penny paid!

It is the square located in front of the Basilica of Saint Peter in Vatican City.

Dominated by the majestic St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Square owes its characteristic elliptical shape adorned by the imposing arcade to the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who every year welcomes millions of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world in a symbolic embrace.
