The Vatican – The holiest site in Roman Catholic denomination of Christianity and home of the pope as well as the world´s smallest country (110 acres) !

The St. Peter´s Basilica is the largest, holiest and most sacred Church in Roman Catholic Church and the current one was built between 1506 – 1626 AD-over 120 years !

It is possible to glance and see the pope on designated times of the week if the Pope is in the Vatican City. I missed seeing him many times ! may be sometime in the future im lucky !
