Caption: ROME holy days at the Vatican
Caption: I recently spent a long weekend in Rome, and I couldn't miss the chance to visit the Vatican!
It's such a small place (compared to Rome) but sooo packed with history, art and culture.
I promise you'll love it even if you're not a religious person
(I'm not, but I found it so inspiring!)

Caption: St. Peter Basilica Think the most incredible place you've seen, and this church is ten times more stunning than that.
Huge, finely decorated and incredibly bright. And oh so holy!

You walk along splendid corridors and enter into huge rooms with paintings and frescos made by some of the most famous painters (think Raffaello for example!)
And then the Sistin Chapel... no words to describe it!

It's a nation of its own after all, so it obviously has its on peculiarities even if it is right in the middle of Rome!
