- Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, the keyhole of the green door
On the hill, a green door sits in a wall; put your eye to the keyhole and St. Peter's dome hangs exactly at the end of a hedge tunnel in the garden. The hole is tiny, so one person looks at a time and a line forms. The look lasts under a minute, and a phone photo barely captures it. Pair it with the Orange Garden nearby for the city view.
