It was the first we visited in our stay in Rome. Is a litle state in a big city. We visited San Peter basilica and the place where all the popes are retired. The day was raining and we decided dont go to the top of the dome where the views of Rome and Vatican is amazing. I think that we visited all the corner of the basilica and we enjoyed so much.
For more information on my Vatican city page, I vill build soon.Fue el primer sitio que vimos en nuestra visita a Roma. La ciudad del vaticano es un pequeno estado dentro de una gran ciudad. Visitamos la basilica de San Pedro y las tumbas de los papas. El dia estaba lluvioso y no subimos a la cupula de la capilla de san pedro donde la vista es preciosa, ( lo se porque mi hermana subio cuando fue a roma hace 10 anos). Dejare mas informacion en la pagina de ciudad del vaticano.

When you reach the altar on the left side there is a small chapel, is very nice but if you look at the roof you vill see this beautiful paint. When i saw it i could not take my sight of the paint.Cuando llegas al altar en el lado izquierdo hay una pequena capilla, es muy bonita pero si miras hacia arriba veras esta maravilla de pintura. Cuando la vi no podia quitar la vista de la pintura de lo bonita que es.
