The construction of this artificial cave, deepened in the Vatican Gardens, began at the dawn of the 20th century. Today it is a smaller copy of the Lourdes Grotto in France. Twisted with greenery, it attracts a lot of tourists every day.

Canopy Bernini
Created by the famous architect Lorenzo Bernini (1624-1633), a special canopy over the altar, called a canopy, is located in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. A huge bronze canopy (ciborium), 29 meters high, is installed directly under a round hole in the top of the dome of the cathedral on four twisted columns, on which statues of angels stand. Many decorative elements of the construction sing of the aristocratic family of Pope Urban VIII, under which the canopy was created. Bernini's masterpiece still amazes all visitors of the cathedral with its luxury and monumentality.

The main official residence of the Roman Pope is represented by a complex of buildings erected at different times. Among them are the most famous sights of the Vatican. If the visit here falls on the weekend, there is a chance to see how the Pope addresses the faithful from the window of his office with the Angelus prayer and a short sermon. This happens every Sunday at noon.
