Saint Peter's Square in Rome is just in front of the Basilica, and it's the centre of the Vatican City. It is here that vast masses are held by the Pope, and where many of the christian celebrations are done.

The square itself is surrounded by many beautiful sculptures of different popes and saints plus 2 amazing fountains, made by Bernini and Maderno. In the centre of the square there's an obelisk that comes from Neron's Circus.

Just below Saint Peter's Basilica there are two statues, one of Saint Peter and the other one of Saint Paul (in photo).

This statue was sculpted in 1838 by Adamo Tadolini.
