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!

Die faltbare Kofferrampe ist ohne langes Überlegen einsatzbereit.
Nach einer gründlichen Reinigung lässt sie sich wieder
an jedem beliebigen Ort verstauen. Wir bieten die faltbare
Kofferrampe für viele Einsatzzwecke an. Besonders beliebt ist ihre Ausführung als Rollstuhlrampe.
Sie eignet sich gut zum Mittransport im Auto.
Wie beschwerlich die täglichen Wege werden können, merkt man erst,
wenn man auf einen Rollstuhl angewiesen ist.
So haben Sie überall einen praktischen Helfer für Rollstühle,
Kinderwagen, Handwagen oder Buggys dabei. Bordsteinkanten, Stufen und Treppen werden plötzlich zu unüberwindbaren Hindernissen. Sie ist so leicht,
dass man sie auch direkt am Rollstuhl mitführen kann.
Die Rollstuhlrampe ist in allen Ausführungen zusammenklappbar.
Sie eignet sich damit hervorragend zum Mitführen direkt am Rollstuhl.
Wir bieten die Rollstuhlrampe in einer Länge von 60 – 213 cm
an. Die kürzeste Variante hat ein Gewicht von gerade einmal 5 Kilogramm.
Damit wird jede Bordsteinkante und Stufe leicht überwindbar.
Die Rollstuhlrampe eignet sich auch für Kinderwagen, Buggys oder Handwagen. Die PKW Auffahrrampe ist ein äußerst
wichtiges Werkzeug. Durch den eingebauten Wagenheber wird die
PKW Auffahrrampe besonders praktisch. Sie macht alle Arbeiten sicher und
ungefährlich, die unterm Fahrzeug stattfinden. Damit lassen sich auch anspruchsvolle Arbeiten ausführen, bei denen ein Rad frei in der Luft
hängen muss. Der Austausch von Stoßdämpfern oder Reparaturen am Lenkgestänge wird durch unsere
PKW Auffahrrampe besonders einfach und sicher.
Zusammengeklappt ist sie aber immerhin sehr gut verstaubar.
Die klappbare Rampe ist etwas größer als eine faltbare
Kofferrampe. Die klappbare Rampe besteht
aus zwei robusten Hälften, die im zentrum durch ein Scharnier miteinander verbunden sind.
Durch einen integrierten Tragegriff lässt sie sich leicht zum Einsatzort tragen. Wir bieten die klappbare Rampe bis zur Belastbarkeit
von 680 Kilogramm an. Diese besonders robuste Ausführung hat eine integrierte Mittelstütze.
Sie ist ideal für den Autotransport oder für die Werkstatt.
Normally I don’t learn article on blogs, but I would like to
say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do so!
Your writing style has been surprised me.
Thanks, very nice article.
I used to be able to find good information from your
content.
I’m not sure why but this web site is loading incredibly slow
for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems
with your website. It seems like some of the text on your
content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please
provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them
too? This could be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Many thanks
Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making
a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Hi friends, how is all, and what you desire to say regarding this
post, in my view its truly awesome in favor of me.
Excellent post. I will be going through a few of these issues as well..
Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking the time and actual
effort to generate a great article… but what can I say… I hesitate a
whole lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
Nevertheless imagine if you added some great photos or videos to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could undeniably
be one of the very best in its field. Superb blog!
Good respond in return of this matter with firm arguments
and telling all on the topic of that.
