Vatican City & St Peter's Basilica
























 
 
 
 
 








St. Peter's Basilica (Italian: San Pietro in Vaticano) is a major basilica in Vatican City.



Art and architechure at its best !








The Pietà (1498–1499)
A masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti




















The dome is accessible to visitors. Its a pretty steep climb and the last section of the stairs is actually quite a tight squeeze.  At the end of the climb you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the entire Vatican City and it's surrounding area..
