Piazza San Pietro

Piazza San Pietro is one of the world's most iconic space. It forms the heart of Vatican City and is the site of St. Peter's Basilica, the world's largest church. The piazza is adorned with travertine marble, fountains, and statues, and features a grand staircase leading to the entrance of the basilica. Historically it has been the junction of international pilgrimages and on the occasion of papal election or other important events and celebrations unfolding here, the piazza can be filled with hundreds of thousands of people. It is a beautiful place to explore and is great for photographers looking to capture its grandeur.
