St. Peter's Square, Vatican City

St. Peter's Square, Vatican City

St. Peter's Square is a beautiful and colorful place situated in Vatican city. Vatican city is the world's smallest country having population of nearly around one thousand which literally amazed me when i first read about this country in the internet. So i thought let the world know about this beautiful place by posting it in blog. The country has a total area of 110 acres (44 hectares). Comparing to my city where i'm living "New Delhi" whose area is 148400 hectares, it is way too smaller.

So if you are planning to visit there then its good but if you are planning to get a citizenship of there then it is impossible to get because it is completely restricted to those employed by Vatican. There are no highways, rail roads, Airports in the Vatican city, it has only streets. This country is totally dependent on its neighboring country Italy like for telephone, electricity as well as for external defense from terrorists. The square is beautifully decorated and gigantic. The center of attraction of square is its church St. Peter's Basilica. Entering inside the Basilica is free of cost but you have to pay to go up to the dome. You can wander around the square and as well as inside the Museum.
