According to the Vatican, nearly 200,000 people paid their respects to former Pope Benedict XVI during his three-day lie-in.
His body has been placed in a coffin in preparation for his funeral on Thursday.
According to the Vatican, Pope Francis will preside over the funeral, marking the first time in over 220 years that a sitting Pope has led his predecessor’s funeral.
The former Pope died on New Year’s Eve at the age of 95, nearly a decade after stepping down due to health issues.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the funeral, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. local time in St. Peter’s Square in front of St. Peter’s Basilica (8:30 GMT).
According to the Vatican, the event will be marked by simplicity, as Benedict requested.
