Vatican City #HogsAbroad in Italy

I am still in AWE of all of the beauty Vatican City has to offer.

It was incredible to walk through the Vatican and see all of the different galleries within the church. I wasn’t aware of the many tapestries that one gallery contained, and they were so large I wasn’t able to get a complete picture of just one of the tapestries.

My favorite part was the ceilings. Can you imagine how much time it would take to create something this beautiful? Or the cricks in your neck you would get from perfecting this?


Another part I wasn’t able to take pictures of was the Sistine Chapel (because this is considered the most sacred chapel), but it was absolutely stunning and covered with multiple story-telling photos.

While you’re there, make sure to walk around the courtyard as well, where you can spot St. Peter’s Basilica.
