Apart from being the largest Catholic place of worship, the Saint Peter also is the product of some of the finest masters of art in Italy.
While the cupola is visible from many parts in Rome, when you walk on its square, it disappears behind the frontside of the basilica. Michelangelo intended the cupola to be seen from below, but the later additions now largely block the view. Nevertheless, it is thrilling to walk from the Castel d'Angelo towards the Saint Peter. A wide avenue, often filled with tourists, flows towards the famous landmark. Without noticing it, somewhere before entering the square you cross the Italian-Vatican border. As you enter the square itself, it opens up on both sides, an obelisk in the middle, and double colonnaded porticoes mark the borders if this oval.
