| Saint Peter's square at night. The square is just in front of the Basilica, and it's the centre of the Vatican City. It is here that vast masses are held by the Pope, and where many of the christian celebrations are done. The square itself is surrounded by many beautiful sculptures of different popes and saints plus 2 amazing fountains, made by Bernini and Maderno. In the centre of the square there's an obelisk that comes from Neron's Circus. Just below Saint Pete's Basilica you'll be able to find 2 statues, one of Saint Peter and the other one of Saint Paul. Both of them are the biggest ones on Earth (like many in this city regarding religion). The square is a meeting point for many tourists, and definately the starting point of the Vatican City. |
