Vatican City
I recently returned from a cultural visit to Italy with a group from my sixth form. It was my fourth time visiting the country, but I still got to experience places I hadn't before. The next few blog posts will be sharing my trip with you, each sight at a time, from both Rome and Sorrento.
Our first proper day in Rome was spent enjoying a guided tour of the Vatican City. Our tour guide took us almost everywhere, some places unfortunately being shut to the public currently. One of my favourite spots we walked around was the Cortile Della Pigma, a beautiful courtyard type area. It has a sculpture in it called Sphere Within Sphere by Arnaldo Pomodoro.

The whole city is absolutely stunning, with intricate art work and breath taking architecture. I would strongly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Rome, whether for religious reasons or soaking up some culture, it's certainly an experience.
