One of the greatest public squares in the world is this piazza that resembles a giant keyhole with two semicircular colonnades that were designed by Bernini to embrace visitors in "the maternal arms of Mother Church." St. Peter’s Square, located in Vatican City in front of world renowned St. Peter’s Basilica, is where the Pope delivers his weekly address at noon on Sundays. In the middle of the square sits a monumental obelisk brought to Rome by the Emperor Caligula from Heliopolis in Egypt.
