While the exterior is dominated by a magnificent dome, the interior is decorated with ornate pillars, fresco and murals, and impressive statues.

Created way back in the 13th century by Pope Nicholas III Orsini, this sprawling verdant landscape is beautifully maintained to keep its lush exotic foliage looking fresh and elegant. It is also famous for its well-placed sculptures and fountains, as well as the 18 Marian statues that are permanently installed in the garden. Initially cultivated as a European medicinal herb garden, the garden was expanded to include plants, herbs, and floral shrubs from around the world. Additionally, the Vatican Gardens underwent a massive restoration by Donato Bramante, who built terrace gardens, courtyards, and popular sites such as the Palazzo Belvedere, Octagonal Courtyard, and Belvedere Courtyard. A staggering 23 hectares of the Vatican Gardens make up nearly half of the entire Vatican city property &#8211; out of a total of 49 hectares. Surreal but incredibly soothing, the lush gardens exude a sense of calm. Make sure you pre-book your trip to Vatican Gardens if you want to visit as they only accept a limited number of visitors per day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"blog-title-link-wrap\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> Suggested Read:<\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/tourist-attractions-in-italy-during-the-off-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explore the fascinating tourist attractions in Italy <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St_Peters_Square\"><\/span>St. Peter\u2019s Square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/st-peters-square.jpg\" alt=\"st-peters-square\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/st-peters-square.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/st-peters-square-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/st-peters-square-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/st-peters-square-640x400.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Vatican City, the most prominent landmark is the Piazza San Pietro, also referred to as St. Peter&#8217;s Square.
