Look at the splendor of St. Peter’s Square through our live webcam.
St. Peter’s Square is known as Piazza San Pietro in Italian.
This masterpiece was created by an Italian architect Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini in 1656–1667 and it is considered to be one of the topmost creations of art related to town planning.
The square was built and formed gradually with different architects working on it over time. The “Roman Fountains” finished in 1739 became a model for many other fountains throughout Europe, for instance, those on Place de la Concorde in Paris. It is this kind of story that makes us appreciate how great this place is.
