Ponte Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy
Gaze west as the Tiber River bends at Vatican City in Rome, and you may be rewarded with a scene like this. The ancient Roman bridge is the Ponte Sant'Angelo, built in 134 AD. Beyond, within the walled city-state of the Vatican, is the iconic dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. Every June 2, Italian citizens celebrate Italy Republic Day, an observance of the post-war vote in 1946 that established the modern Italian republic.
