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!

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to
tell someone!
It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy.

for such information.
Seit Mitte Juli liegt die auch R-Wert genannte Ansteckungsrate wieder häufig über 1 und das bedeutet,
dass sich der Pool an Infizierten wieder zögernd vergrößert.
Nicht wirklich schnell wie im Frühjahr, aber je länger der leichte Anstieg andauert, umso größer ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass doch wieder Fallzahlen deutlich oberhalb der
2000er-Marke kommen zu. Entsprechend verharren die täglich registrierten Todesfallzahlen seit Juni auf einem sehr niedrigen Niveau im meist einstelligen Bereich.
Sollte das Virus aber aus der Gruppe der Unter-35-Jährigen heraus wieder seinen Weg hin zu den Älteren finden,
können auch die aktuell niedrigen Todesfallzahlen erneut ansteigen. Wo genau infizieren sich die Menschen dabei Coronavirus?
Zum Vergleich: Im Frühjahr wurden täglich bis zu 250 Todesfälle durch oder mit
Corona-Infektionen gemeldet. Nach Schätzung des
RKI steckte im April ein Covid-19-Infizierter typisch vier
weitere Personen an. Dieser Wert sank bis Juni auf Werte deutlich unter 1.
I. e., dass damals die Zahl der Infizierten von Tag zu Tag abnahm.
Dann wird man einen weiteren Vergleich ziehen können – nämlich den, wie das Gesundheitssystem im Vergleich zum Frühjahr mit den hohen Fallzahlen zurechtkommt.
Dass Sars-CoV-2 der Sprung zwischen den Altersgruppen diesmal vielleicht ehrlich gesagt
nicht schnell gelingt, dafür spricht die Ansteckungsrate.
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be
running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d
post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue
solved soon. Cheers
It’s fantastic that you are getting thoughts from this post as well as from our argument made at this time.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward
for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
When I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the
-Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now
on each time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.
There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!
