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.
