More Information
Details: Arriving in Piazza San Pietro, the visitor is immediately impressed by the size of St. Peter's Cathedral and the magnificent four-row colonnade designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Inside the Basilica, visitors slowly climb the sweeping three fights of steps - these too designed by Bernini - to behold the beauty of the largest church in the world. The collections of the Vatican Museums, which preserve the art of some of the world's most illustrious artists, are only rivaled by the Sistine Chapel, a milestone in the history of Italian painting.
