St Peter’s Square is the gateway to the Vatican, which is the world’s smallest sovereign city state. The immensely impressive square boasts a magnificent sprawl of architecture and a deep etching of history that spans back thousands and thousands of years.
The best Vatican tours also give visitors the chance to see the Pope’s weekly blessing, which takes place in St Peter’s Square. As the heart of the Catholic faith, the square has drawn in people from all over the world since it became the main papal residence in 1378.
