Situated in the Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica is one of the holiest Catholic sites. The basilica is built in the Renaissance style and its facade with a giant order of statues is absolutely marvelous.
We visited the city during our trip to Italy in Easter last year and were greeted by a swarm of tourists and locals alike. We even got to see tulips exported specially from the Netherlands for the decorations!

Here in Holland they have incorporated a phrase by the late Pope John Paul II, when he used to thank the NL for their flowers, especially tulips, which they sent for special ceremonies: "bedaaaaaankt voor de blooooeeeeemen!" (imitating his accent, of course) :D
