Hey fellow adventurers! Welcome back! There is so much history in Vatican City! In 1984, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) added Vatican City as a World Heritage Site. The whole country! Even though it’s quite a small space, there’s a lot to see! Today I’ll talk about the most famous landmarks at Vatican Square (I’m not focusing on artistic aspects).
St. Peter’s Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica is considered by many to be one of the most renowned works of Renaissance art, and one of the holiest Catholic shrines. With a length of 730 feet (220 meters), width of 500 feet (150 meters), and height of 448.1 feet (136.6 meters), it’s the largest church in the world. It is a popular destination for pilgrimages, with anywhere from 15,000 to 80,000 people visiting each year to pray here. It is also the burial site of St. Peter and the first Pope. Aesthetically, a lot of people’s favorite part of the basilica is the dome.
St. Peter’s Square
St. Peter’s Square is a large plaza located in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was built by Bernini between 1656 and 1667. Bernini planned on building more but after Alexander VII’s death, construction was halted, and never resumed. During the summer, they hold the Papal Audience in St. Peter’s Square. During a Papal Audience, the Pope will typically talk for an hour and a half to two hours.
Sistine Chapel
Sistine Chapel is a chapel within the Apostolic Palace (where the Pope lives). It is the site of the Papal Conclave (the process of choosing a new Pope). It holds the artwork of many talented artists, but is most known for The Last Judgement by Michelangelo.
Vatican Museums
With both religious and art museums to choose from (and little else in general), museums are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vatican City. Some of the most valuable Renaissance art pieces and classical sculptures reside here. The museums own around 70,000 works but only 20,000 are on display to the public. And when you buy a museum ticket, proceeds go to the Catholic Church.
Vatican Gardens
This one is a less popular tourist attraction but I still feel it deserved some attention. The gardens are very peaceful and beautiful. Nicholas III moved to the Vatican and decided to plant an orchard, a lawn and a garden to protect his residence. But it has grown and changed considerably since then.
Vatican Library
This next one is not a tourist attraction but I wanted to include it… well, because I wanted to. It was a short enough post that I could. The Vatican Library is the library of the Holy See. Formally established in 1475 (though unofficially it was around for longer), the Vatican Library is one of the oldest libraries in the world. It has about 1.1 million printed books, including 75,000 codices (plural form of codex) throughout history and 8,500 incunabula (text that was printed before 1501). The library is primarily a research library for history, law, philosophy, science and theology, and therefore is only used by those who prove they need to use the library for means of research in one of the fields previously mentioned. The Vatican Secret Archives are separate from the library, and contains another 150,000 items.
Well that’s all for today’s post! I hope you have an amazing weekend! And as always, until our next adventure!

Meistens liegt beim Fensterkauf der Fokus auf der Wärmedämmung und vielleicht noch dem Schallschutz.
Dabei gibt es heutzutage so viele verschiedene Möglichkeiten, um den Fensterschutz zu erhöhen. Besonders gekippte Fenster
lassen sich leicht öffnen. Aber auch geschlossene Fenster ohne zusätzlichen Schutz
können meist aufgehebelt, eingedrückt oder einschlagen werden.
Im Vergleich zu einem einflügeligen oder feststehenden Fenster bietet ein doppelflügeliges Fenster mehr Angriffsfläche und mehr Möglichkeiten für Einbrecher.
Das liegt daran, dass die Rollzapfen, die im Fenster verbaut werden,
zwar für das Abdichten des Fensters sorgen, aber keinen mechanischen Schutz bei
einem Einbruch bieten. Für diesen Zweck gibt es spezielle Beschläge wie z.
B. Haltebänder, Scharniere und absperrbare Fenstergriffe, die Ihr Fenster einbruchsicher machen. Ergänzend dazu gibt es Schwenk- und Klappriegel und verschiedene mechanische Schlösser,
die zur Fenstersicherung angebracht werden können und sogar Doppelfenster ohne Mittelsteg sichern.
Ein Aluminiumfenster ist am stabilsten und bietet auf diesem
Gebiet den meisten Schutz. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ein Doppelflügelfenster zu schützen ist das Sicherheitsglas.
Die Stabilität des Rahmens spielt auch bei der Einbruchsicherheit eine große Rolle.
Die Beständigkeit der Sicherheitsverglasung wird in verschiedene Widerstandsklassen eingeteilt.
Sichtbar werden sowohl durchwurfhemmendes als auch durchbruchhemmendes Sicherheitsglas.
Heya! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone 4!
Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts!

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another
platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep
a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had
to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
