There’s only one way you should approach the Piazza San Pietro: head directly up the Via della Conciliazione to come face-to-face with the majestic dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. Once you are standing in the piazza, better known as St. Peter’s Square, you will be in no doubt that you are at the very centre of the smallest state in the world. The piazza as it is today is the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The Baroque architect was appointed in the mid-17th century to create a space that would allow the greatest number of people to see the pope as he made public addresses from the Vatican Palace. Every Easter Day, the Piazza San Pietro is still thronged by pilgrims who turn out to witness the pope deliver his annual message. In reality, there is rarely a quiet day at the piazza.The key is to take your time to pick out the points of interest you wish to see. Positioned right at the core of the piazza is the Egyptian obelisk, more than 82-feet (25-metre) tall and crafted out of red granite. It’s claimed that the obelisk was moved by Caligula in the year 37 from Alexandria to the Circus of Nero, a brutal theatre of death games and crucifixions, which stood on the current site of the piazza. This is also the spot where St. Peter’s life ended at the hands of the Romans. There’s a striking painting of his martyrdom by Caravaggio in the Cerasi Chapel. Forming the elliptical shape of the piazza are the towering, four-deep colonnades, which are ingeniously positioned to create an optical illusion. Looking just above the colonnades, you will see a multitude of statues, a collection of saintly figures including St. John the Baptist and Christ the Redeemer. St. Peter himself occupies a position to the right-hand side of the steps leading to the basilica, and was sculpted by Giuseppe De Fabris. He is faced on the other side by St. Paul.St. Peter's Square is in central Rome. You can walk there from the city centre the most direct route is to cross the Tiber and walk straight up Via della Conciliazione. The Metro train station Ottaviano is a short walk away along Via Ottaviano. ## Plan a trip to see St. Peter's Square Price found within the past 48 hours.

(639 reviews) Great location in the heart of Rome. Most major attractions are within walking distance — about 25 minutes to the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon, 10 minutes to the Spanish Steps, and around 35 minutes to the Colosseum (or 15 minutes by metro). The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and our room was cleaned and the bed made every day. The hotel is clean, well presented, and located on the second floor. The shower was spacious and we appreciated the free water dispenser with reusable bottles provided. Breakfast is simple but enough to start the day. The only minor issues were that the ground floor buzzer didn’t seem to work on arrival, and the underside of the decorative bed runner had a stain. Overall, a comfortable stay in a very convenient location.

Square 4.5 Top destination 5 - Excellent 322 4 - Good 200 3 - Okay 25 2 - Disappointing 2 1 - Terrible 1 ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Take good waliking shoes and allow plenty of time for your visit. Buy and use the Roma pass. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller A must to see the lines to get in to the Chappell are massive so expect to wait a long time to get in . Loads of security to get in side but if you want to see inside well with it. Outside is great also ### 5/5 - Excellent Tony Not only spectacular but the only place we found free, clean and spacious toilets to the left of the square ### Popular places to visit ![The Apostolic Palace](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6116026/2cb5fde0-9423-488d-8ef5-7211819e06f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Apostolic Palace After visiting Apostolic Palace, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Vatican City.
