“That's why it's not just about the migrants' cause, it's not just about them, but about all of us, about the present and the future of the human family. Migrants, especially the most vulnerable, help us to recognize the 'signs of the times'."

The fountains of Saint Peter's Square are two twin fountains located in the homonymous square in Rome, included in the territory of Vatican City, and placed on the major axis of the elliptical square, in line with the Egyptian obelisk located on the center.

St. Peter's Square

Highlight • Monument

St. Peter's Square is among the most famous squares in the world. It is a symbol not only of spirituality but also of culture, being among the greatest architectural works of the Western world. To understand its magnificence you have to look at it from above and you can do this by climbing inside the Dome of St. Peter. Inside the Basilica there are signs leading to the ticket office to go up to the Dome (the Basilica can be visited for free). The view you can admire from those 140 meters is unique and worth every penny paid!

The fountains in St. Peter's Square are two twin fountains located in the square of the same name in Rome, included in the territory of Vatican City. They are placed on the main axis of the elliptical plaza, in line with the Egyptian obelisk located in the center. These fountains are a prominent element in the architecture of the square and have been designed by two important figures: Carlo Maderno, author of the façade of St. Peter's Basilica, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the great exponent of Roman baroque and brilliant artist of Square. If you want to know more details about these sources, don't hesitate to ask. 😊

The Helical Staircase in the Vatican Museums, located in Vatican City, is an architectural marvel. Although at first glance it looks like a single staircase, it is actually made up of two intertwined spirals: one to go up and the other to go down. Designed in 1932 by the Italian Giuseppe Momo, this staircase is a delight for photography lovers. If you have the opportunity to visit the Vatican Museums, don't miss this gem along with the famous Sistine Chapel.
