   St. Peter's Square

   St. Peter’s Square in

   St. Peter’s Square in is one of the most famous (and certainly one of the most holy!) sights in the world. It was designed in the 17th century by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who was known as the most accomplished architect in Rome at the time. Pope Alexander VIII, who commissioned the piazza, asked Bernini to emphasize St. Peter’s importance as “the gateway to Heaven” and the architect implemented the request beautifully. He divided the square into a smaller trapezoidal area adjoining the Basilica and an oval main part, which together create a ground plan in the shape of a giant keyhole.

   St. Peter's Basilica

   The view from the top of St. Peter's Dome

   The view from the top of St. Peter's Dome is hailed far and wide as the best panorama of Rome. From these heights you will also be able to gaze over the whole of Vatican City, with its splendid gardens. This is 360° of pure magic as the Eternal City stretches to the hills beyond, and your guide will help you spot many a famous roof and dome, from the Pantheon, to Castel Sant'Angelo and more.

   Vatican Grottoes

   Known by a number of names, Vatican Crypts, Vatican Grottoes, or the catchy 'Vatacombs', this is the enormous underground cemetery below St. Peter's that houses the hallowed tombs of various popes, martyrs, kings and other faithful that the central church in Catholicism has collected over its millennia of history. You can even see a few columns of the original St. Peter's Basilica built by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD.
