St. Peter's Square

St. Peter's Square Approx. Time: 1 hours
Activity Level: Easiest


This massive and beautiful square originally opened into a very small and dense neighborhood, although that all changed when Mussolini razed an entire city block to open it up. Regardless, it still retains its classical beauty and serves as the place from which the masses receive the Pope’s weekly blessing.
