The 42-meter-high Vatican obelisk made of red granite is located in the center of St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. This is a world cultural heritage site that must be seen. The view from the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral is stunning. Impressions - for a lifetime.
The border of the state runs along part of the perimeter of the square. To enter St. Peter's Cathedral, you need to go through the security service metal detectors on the right. The queues are long. Swiss guards guard the passage on the left side of the cathedral. You can take pictures of them from afar, but you can't get close. The regime was tightened, I think, after the events in Angels and Demons.)
