Today we explored the Vatican and got to see the architecturally perfect design of one of the most famous buildings in the world. Once we had walked through and mass was about to start we decided to head over to the Vatican Museum, which to our dismay was closed because it was a holy day. After overcoming our disappointment we decided we were going to go in to the dome at the top of the Vatican. From this area you can see down to the altar within St. Peter's Basilica. The walk to the dome is full of curves and tight. If you are claustrophobic this walk is not for you, as there are sometimes hundreds of people packed into a tiny stairwell, sweating and treking together. All of the walk proves worth it a top the great church. The view from the top of the Vatican is absolutely breathtaking. You can see so many of the Roman monuments, and with such perfect view. There are green gardens alongside parts of the Vatican which combine incredible skill of artistry and gardening ability.
