The State of the Vatican City

The State of the Vatican City is a walled enclave which is situated in Italy's capital, Rome. 

It's the smallest country in the world by both population and area. 

Its walls are 3.2 km long and they enclose a territory of about 0.44 square kilometers (110 acres). This makes Vatican City the smallest independent state in the world by area, and also the world's least populated.

Vatican City is the home of Popes and the Holy See.

The Vatican City was born upon a small portion of Rome. The name "Vatican" is very ancient. It's coming from the Latin Mons " Vaticanus ", which means Vatican Mount.

Upon the last population census Vatican City has about 900 citizens. Main attraction of this city is St-peters-square..which is shown below

Some of them live and/or work inside the Vatican's walls, others are Holy See's diplomats and work in embassies around the world. The whole citizenry consists of two groups: clergy and the Swiss Guard.

In 1984 Vatican City became UNESCO's World Heritage Site and it is the only one to consist of an entire state.
This small portion of land has very rich cultural significance.

Vatican Gardens spread upon more than half of its territory and are very famous for their beauty, fountains and sculptures.

The gardens cover approximately 23 hectares (57 acres) which is most of the Vatican Hill. Stone walls bound the area in the North, South and West.

Inside the Vatican City, are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries, including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world.

On the last Sunday of each month, the Vatican Museum is open to the public for free. This is extremely popular and it is common for people to wait in line for many hours..
