Vatican


The Vatican is located in the enclave of Vatican City within Rome, Italy. This is the home of the Roman Catholic Church and where the Pope lives and works. This is a major tourist attraction not just for its age and historical significance, but for its religious significance as well. There are millions of people who flock here every single year to see one of the holiest sites in Catholic history. All of the Catholic Popes have resided in this area since 1377. Before that, the Pope would live in the Lateran Palace. Because of an issue of the state of repair of the Palace, the Pope’s residence was kept at the Vatican from then on. So if you travel to Rome, you will want to make arrangements to go to the Vatican and see what many people go to see more than once in their life because of the significance and the beauty of the city.
