Centuries of Faith: St. Peter's Square
St Peter's Square, one of the largest and most emblematic public spaces in the world, is the heart of Vatican City and the Catholic Church. Designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century, it is a testament to the grandeur of faith and the power of art.
St Peter's Basilica, which rises majestically at the back of the square, is a landmark of Renaissance and Baroque architecture with a history dating back to the 4th century. Built over the tomb of the Apostle Peter, it is a place of pilgrimage for millions of worshippers every year.
