The very first and very last thing I saw in Rome was St. Peter’s Square. St. Peter’s Square was hands down my favorite spot we were able to see in Italy. The beautiful architecture of the entire plaza is simply amazing, not to mention the incredible amounts of history involved. St. Peter’s Square is located in Vatican City, where many people would gather to see the Pope give his blessing for hundreds of years. We also toured St. Peter’s Basilica and were able to embrace the incredible Renaissance architecture while also climbing the dome and seeing all of Rome from way high up!
