Regarding this monument – some may find the term memorial more appropriate – the following text from the Archdiocese of Vienna's website: "Pope Francis unveiled a sculpture of a migrant ship in St. Peter's Square at the end of a service for World Migrant Day on Sunday, September 29, 2019. The bronze and clay work by Canadian artist Timothy Schmalz depicts a ship carrying 140 migrants from different countries of origin and eras. The sculpture is titled "Angels Unaware." The title of the artwork refers to a phrase in the Letter to the Hebrews from the New Testament. It states: "Do not forget to offer hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels!" He chose this sculpture for St. Peter's Square so that it "will always remind us of the challenges of hospitality from the Gospel," Francis stated..."

A special highlight is seeing the dome up close. You can either take the elevator part of the way up and walk the rest, or walk the entire way up to the dome. Tickets can be purchased at the bottom. On Sunday (July), we were able to buy a ticket directly at the ticket counter shortly after 8 a.m. (without having to wait) and begin the ascent. The walk up is interesting in itself, and the list has nothing to do with the previous evening 😉. We won't reveal any more! Except that it's great to look down on Rome, the Vatican Gardens, and St. Peter's Square. Up on the roof terrace of St. Peter's Basilica, there's a café/bistro where you can get some refreshments. There are also online tickets that can be booked in advance. https://rom-tourist.de/tickets/petersdom-kuppel/

The dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is a masterpiece by Michelangelo and one of the tallest domes in the world (136 meters). You can climb it for a magnificent view of Rome. The dome is richly decorated inside and symbolizes the heart of the Catholic Church. Completed in 1590, it is a popular attraction for pilgrims and tourists.
