St. Peter's Square is a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, a tiny independent state within Rome, Italy. It's a significant site for the Catholic Church, often where the Pope addresses large crowds, as Pope Leo XIV did for the 9/11 anniversary. It's a place of pilgrimage and major religious ceremonies.
