The famous St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City in Rome.
One of the monuments that you can't miss visiting in the Eternal City is definitely St. Peter's Square, a symbol of Christianity in the world.
I didn't remember there being so many tourists visiting... and to think that the last time I was there I even climbed to the top of the dome and I don't remember waiting in line that long.

La vista che si gode dal cupolone di San Pietro è sicuramente impareggiabile. Questa in particolare mostra il Vittoriano (o Altare della Patria) e, se aguzzate la vista anche il Colosseo.
