Are you visiting Rome for the trip of a lifetime? Are you determined to see the Vatican while you’re there? One of the most familiar sites to those who’ve seen Rome on television or in photographs is the St Peter’s Square. A private Vatican tours can help you understand the history of this vast forecourt.

It’s easy to hurry through St Peter’s Square. Compared to the splendor of the Sistine Chapel or the exquisite interior of St Peter’s Basilica, a grand forecourt can seem rather inferior. However, it’s one of the most recognizable religious sites in the world and was redesigned in the 17th century to allow as many people as possible to witness the Pope giving his blessings. This tradition has continued to this day and good private Vatican tours will extol the virtues of this wonderful open space. The obelisk at the center has a peculiar history of its own, originally erected in Egypt until Caligula ordered it moved to Rome. It’s been in its current location since 1586, and was used as the centerpiece of Bernini’s extravagant plaza designed to showcase the splendor of Vatican City. Today, thousands of pilgrims flock to hear the Pope and it is one of the most famous places in the world. Any trip to Vatican City takes in St Peter’s Square, but, good guided tours of Italy will stress the importance and the history of it. Don’t allow St Peter’s Square to be something you simply walk through. Experience the reality of it with a qualified tour guide.
