Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere - Rome. We walked over the river from central Rome and came across a mass at this church.

"The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere English- Our Lady in Trastevere- is a titular minor basilica in the Trastevere district of Rome, and one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. The church has large areas of important mosaics from the late 13th century by Pietro Cavallini."

The Vatican and St. Peter's Square - outside during daylight. During our trip to Rome, we of course stopped by the Vatican. The crowds were huge at around 10am, so we came back at 4pm and then it was easier to get in. This video looks more at the outside of the Vatican on St. Peter's Square. The interesting circle symbol, centered with the huge Egyptian obelisk. "The Vatican Obelisk is the only obelisk in Rome that has not toppled since ancient Roman times."

More on St Peter's square - "Saint Peter's Square, in Italian - Piazza San Pietro and in Latin- Forum Sancti Petri, is a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, the papal enclave inside Rome, directly west of the neighbourhood or rione of Borgo.

At the centre of the square is an Egyptian obelisk, erected at the current site in 1586. Gian Lorenzo Bernini designed the square almost 100 years later, including the massive Tuscan colonnades, four columns deep, which embrace visitors in "the maternal arms of Mother Church". A granite fountain constructed by Bernini in 1675 matches another fountain designed by Carlo Maderno in 1613." Source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_P...
