Entering the Basilica
The Basilica is a place of prayer. Visitors are asked to observe silence and, in general, to have a respectful behaviour given place. Access to the Basilica begins with the security checks by the Italian State Police: the stations are located in the right hemicycle of Saint Peter's Square looking towards the Basilica. Here pilgrims and prayer-goers have access to the “Prayer Path” gate, marked with yellow signs and manned h12 by the staff of the Fabric of Saint Peter.
Other visits access security controls by queueing on the same side of the hemicycle, with at least four other gates available for Italian State Police controls.
