Evening in Rome, Italy, on 21 Oct 2024. A shot of Vatican City from Villa Borghese Gardens. Then we walked to St. Peter's Square to see St. Peter's Basilica from close up. We also got to see a Pontifical Swiss Guard.

This arch was officially opened in 1760 and is one of the main entrances from St. Peter's Square. I walked up to the Swiss Guard to ask a question. They are nice folks. I took this in 2022.

Location: Guardia Svizzera Arco delle Campane (Vatican City)

With the news about the passing of former #Pope #BenedictXVI I figured I might share my favourite photo because of the framing from when we visited the #VaticanCity and St Peter’s Basilica back in 2019. Raised #Catholic I am nevertheless most definitely #atheist but still love visiting religious buildings and settings for the historical and cultural significance.
