Saint Peter's area


Excluding the Basilica and Castel Sant'Angelo, this neighbourhood does not require any particular visit. Built in the 19th century where up until then there were fields (todays name for the area is Prati (fields)). This area has a different traffic system from the rest of the city with wide streets and large buildings, some very beautiful, and lovely villas from the beginning of the last century.
You should, although visit the area on the side of the Basilica and on the other side of the Vatican walls which is called Borgo.
