This is from just outside St Peter's Church. Here at St Peter's square you'll find another Egyptian obelisk (find it in the top picture) as well as the Doric colonnades, four columns deep, which embrace visitors in "the maternal arms of Mother Church". On top of the colonnades and the buildings are statues of 140 saints that watch over the square (bottom picture, of course).
This was our last stop in the Vatican and we left of a rather late lunch, or would it be dinner? "Lunner" perhaps haha, yeah lets go for that, we went for Lunner, quite famished from walking around for hours on end, but very satisfied with our experience. The Vatican was easily the high point of our trip to Rome and nobody who travels to the city should miss it.

Nice shots (and I have been to Rome, but did miss it - groan). Bottom shot: May I have this dance? :)
