St. Peter’s Basilica at Dawn

Vatican City, Italy

Bathed in the first golden light of day, St. Peter’s Basilica rises in quiet majesty over the empty square. The morning sun brushes against centuries of stone, casting long shadows across the cobblestones and breathing warmth into the cool Roman air. Here, history stands still—silent, sacred, and timeless—while the world slowly begins to stir.
