PIVS VII P M FECIT AN XXII
This inscription translates roughly to “Pope Pius VII, Supreme Pontiff, made this in the 13th year of his pontificate.” Placed above the classical columns, it links papal authority with the building’s grandeur and permanence.
St Peter's Basilica Dome
Although not a part of the Vatican Museums, you can admire the dome of one of Rome's most famous landmarks from the museums' courtyard.
Sphere Within Sphere
This striking sculpture in the courtyard is“Sphere Within Sphere” by Arnaldo Pomodoro. It symbolizes the fragility of the world and the complex, interconnected systems of modern civilization.

Fiona
Definitely recommend these tickets - took away any stress of finding entrances/ getting through security. Guides were very helpful and friendly!
Jenyfer
For us it was great! We were traveling with our teenage daughter. We were able to go at our own pace and while we likely missed out on learning some important things, for us, this was an ideal option

Simon
