View of St. Peter’s Basilica - revisited

I was going through my Rome album and decided to upload a few more of Vatican City.

I took these photo of St Peter’s Square on my recent trip.

That iconic dome - which dominates the skyline - was designed by Michelangelo.

Leaving the Basilica and entry into the Square.

Statue of St Peter (holding the keys) at the base of the steps to the Basilica.

Sculptor Giuseppe De Fabris.

Incredible facade.

The Vatican Obelisk

Ancient Egyptian obelisk carved from red granite.

Magnificent colonnade (with statutes overlooking) designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century.

Me at the Obelisk.
