Dominating the square, the colossal Vatican Obelisk, an ancient Egyptian gem, journeys from Heliopolis to Rome during Emperor Caligula's reign. A symbol of Rome's enduring link to antiquity. Not to be missed are two fountains that grace the square, one crafted by Maderno and the other by Bernini. Water and stone merge with artistry, heightening the square's splendor.
