Vatican city is the home to the Pope, who heads all of the branches of Catholicism and the many different orders that have formed over the centuries. It is also the resting place of St. Peter, of the 12 apostles sent out by Jesus, and whom was told that on him the church would be built, not knowing that it literally would be. It is essentially the physical home to a religion that has been around for 2000 years and shaped human history in western Europe greatly. Afterall, there was a time when people could have entire kingdoms brought down by the mere gesture of the man who sits on St. Peter's throne. And yes the church has it's issues and detraction's but what doesn't. Do not blame the religion the people belong to.

The Vatican is located in Rome, Italy and is the smallest city state in world. It is the home of the Pope and the Catholic Church. Located in the Vatican is St. Peter's that was designed by Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel that was painted by him. Buried within St. Peter's is the tomb of Peter and past popes. Also there is 4 museums, and vast amounts of art and antiquities. There is also a library filled with books from through the ages and it has it's own banking system. I have been there three times and still want to go back.
