St. Peter’s Square
Start your Bernini Walking Tour to follow in the Bernini’s footsteps at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican City State. Admire the stunning square, the facade of the Basilica and Bernini’s fountain, while learning from your tour guide all the most important facts about Bernini’s life.
Ponte Sant’Angelo
Walk through Rome’s cobblestone streets and reach Castel Sant’Angelo. Cross the charming bridge of Ponte Sant’Angelo, also known as the Bridge of Angels, which for many years was used as a passage by Christian pilgrims to St. Peter’s Basilica.
Marvel at the statues of the angles which adorn the bridge, designed by Bernini and his successors. Admire the statues of the Angels holding the instruments of the Passion.
Minerva Statue
Next, walking across the fascinating Via Dei Coronari, right in the heart of Rome’s city center, you will reach the Pantheon, one of the most impressive attractions in Rome. Here we will stop to see the famous statue “Elephant and the Obelisk” – in Italian “Statua della Minerva”, which was executed by Bernini and probably his assistant Enrico Ferrata.
