Rome, Italy Part II

Our last full day in Rome we had planned on seeing the Vatican City. The bummer part was that the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum were closed that day. We did get to see and go into the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica, see the Holy Vatican Grottos (Tombs of the Popes), and Michelangelos Pieta'. They were all such spectacular sights to see.


That was the view of the Vatican City from the top of the Saint Peter's Basilica dome.


This is the famous Pieta' by Michaelangelo.



This building held the Holy Vatican Grottos (Tombs of the Pope).


There were so many beautiful fountains all around Italy. They usually had one in every town square.
