I was not aware that this was a fountain made by Bernini. It’s good to do homework. I took a couple videos and a picture because I could tell it was special.

Beautiful spot and very large area to walk

Stones
walls
pillars

and lots of space to think

there are corners and details that need more than hours and hours to see an admire. the size of the square is overwhelming. is more a place to see with your architect, historian, or theologisch friend.

Very nice work for a fountain well deserved for the place. The sound of the water flowing makes the place more solemn

Bernini's masterpiece at the Vatican is a breathtaking sight. The intricate details and flowing water create a mesmerizing experience. A true artistic gem

Beautiful fountain. You can drink water from every any fountain in Rome. This one is beautiful.

The fountain was sculpted by Bernini and is located in St Peters Square in Vatican City.

The fountain is lit up at night and looks very beautiful with the Basilica in the background .

The fountain is open 24 hours and is free to view

Beautiful fountain at St. Peter's Square. Usually crowded as a lot of visitors come here to visit the Basilica. Recommended to arrive early as the lines to enter can be rather long. Also one needs to be dressed properly (shoulders and knees covered) in order to enter. This is a requirement to enter the Basilica as well. Expect airport like security when you visit on days the Pope had an audience. Is totally worth the visit !!

Last time I was in Rome it was in Feb. By early summer, the lines to enter St. Peters can be very long. If you want to skip to ahead of the line you will need to hire a guide. Plan ahead come early. Also if you do visit take the time to view the plaza and its fountains and sculpture. With a telephoto, you get a good photo of the saints that appoint the collonade.
