    The Egyptian Obelisk in the middle of the St peter's square is the 2nd largest obelisk that you can find in Rome.

    the obelisk is 25 meters high.

    After walking through the Vatican Museums and, the Sistine Chapel and the St. Peter's Basilica, we decided to sit down and admire the St. Peter Square from where you can see the windows of the Pope's bedroom. If they are lighted at night, means the pope is in town, if not, well, then he is not in town! (pretty obvious hehe). The two windows at the right corner are the Pope's bedroom (see picture).

    I thought I was back in the days of the Romans and I had forgotten my toga at home. This is where it all happens.

    We arrived the day before the Festival of St Peter, so everything was prepared for the Popes speech the next day, and all the decorations were up.

    Lonely Planet- "Bernini's Piazza San Pietro (St Peters Square) is rightly considered a masterpiece. Laid out in the 17th century, the immense piazza is bound my 2 semicircular colonnades, each of which is made up of 4 rows of Doric columns. In the centre of the piazza is an obelisk that was brought to Rome by Caligula from Heliopolis (in ancient Egypt). The Pope usually gives a public audience at 1am every Wednesday in the Papal Audience Hall or St Peters Square."

    I was lucky enough to be present at a sermon held by Benedict XVI, large screens show his image to the waiting crowds. however if you want to understand his message you need to study your Latin!
