Gallery › Italy › Rome › Vatican city

  • A glimpse of St Peters Basilica from the Vatican Museum
  • Contemporary art within the grounds of the Vatican
  • Some of the many museum pieces within. This one was getting a little TLC
  • Ceilings leading to the Sistine chapel
  • A (dark) view of the crowds heading toward the chapel
  • Some of the many detailed tapestries along the way
  • More ceiling art. This was amazing due to it appear to be sculpted but was in fact just painted on.
  • This hallway contained painted maps of areas throughout Italy ending with this complete one. The accuracy of the maps (created hundreds of years ago) is almost perfect.
  • Entrance to St Peters Basilica
  • The Pietà statue carved by Michelangelo
  • The high ceilings of the basilica. The dimensions of everything were deceiving.
  • St. Peter's baldachin
  • Swiss guards of the Vatican city
  • St Peter's square, currently filled with chairs for the (final) speech from the pope. Bernini made the centre curved to make it appear as if the monuments were smaller than they actually were
  • St Peter's Basilica
