🇻🇦 View from the Cupola, St. Peter’s Basilica

Taken from the top of the Cupola at St. Peter’s Basilica, this view shows the full layout of St. Peter’s Square, including Bernini’s colonnades, the central obelisk, and the two fountains.

From this height you can also see the surrounding districts of Rome, the Tiber River, and several of the city’s bridges.

The elevation provides a clear perspective on how Vatican City connects directly into the wider urban layout of Rome.
