Day 47 - Sunday Mass

Castel Sant'Angelo is one of the tallest buildings in Rome. It has a terrace on its roof with a great view of St Peter's Basilica and Piazza San Pedro, as well as other well known places. If you go to the fort on a Sunday you'll see the people gather for mass in the Vatican - a beautiful and powerful sight.

The masses can be celebrated in the basilica, in the square or sometimes both; it depends on the expected number of people attending them. Most masses require you to have a ticket, but don't sweat it, the tickets are always free.

I was lucky with this picture. As you can see it was quite cloudy that day and we were up on the roof terrace for quite a while before the sun finally broke though and shone in the right spot. I quite like the result, a gloomy sky with bright sunny buildings below it :)
