St. Peter’s Cathedral was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. The church was remarkable, breath taking & over the top. It is something that I really can't explain and no picture can do justice. The amount of time that went into constructing the mosaics and HUGE sculptures was mind blowing. I absolutely love it and ...

The Vatican - A Humbling Experience Many Years Ago
It has been over 30 years since my visit to Italy, but I still recall the visions even today. I remember sitting in the Sistine Chapel with tears running down my face, realizing the sanctity of where I was. Pretty overwhelming. The Vatican Museum was quite impressive and visiting the Catacombs beneath the Chapel..something to behold. One of the ...

The Vatican is a place to see with a guided tour only. That way you can know about everything. And still enjoy the absolutely amazing building. The art and sculptures you have to see. There are no words that can let you know how beautiful of a place it is. You also have to love walking.
We took a tour around, and we found the entire place amazing! Our tour guide told us about almost everything. There is so much history about it that it almost got a bit too much. But in all, it was a great experience and i plan on going back someday!

You absolutely CANNOT go to Rome and not visit the Vatican. The amount of history present in just this one area is more than you can take in in just one trip. I went several times while in Italy. The beauty of it is truly beyond words.
I don't believe there are words to describe this city. Even if you are not Catholic, you will truly enjoy this city. Be sure to see the museum and courtyards. My husband and I got some sandwiches and just hung out in St Peter's Square and people watched. It was a treat just seeing peoples faces when they first take in the magnitude of the square. The artwork and sculptures are just beyond words.
I recently returned home from a visit to Italy of 14 days. I was in Rome for part of or all of 4 of those days. Each of those 4 days found me at St. Pter's. It is impossible to put into words of how beautiful St. Peter's is.
I was lucky enough to be there for the Wednesday general audience of Pope Benedict. It was an incredible ...
