Çok görkemli, mutlaka görümeli!

Plac ogromny. Robi wrażenie. Fajne uczucie być w tym miejscu. Polecam to przeżycie

This Apostolic Palace is definitely a beautiful blessed palace. Generally the public is not allowed to visit there without permission. But only at least a select few are invited or summoned by the Pope there for a meeting. It's definitely a great place to think of.
