This is St. Peter’s Square, built on the sight that was the Circus of Rome, where the chariot races were held. This is where Peter was crucified upside down, and many other Christians were martyred. It blew my mind to stand here, were one of the 12 disciples died, in what is now part of the courtyard of a church.
