Vatican City, a separate self-governed territory within Rome, claims fame as the world’s smallest autonomous state and is ruled by the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Art lovers will cherish the beautiful museums within the enclave, as well as St. Peter’s Basilica, St. Peter’s Square and the crowning jewel, the Sistine Chapel whose ceiling is renown as Michelangelo’s masterpiece.

I would love to go, I’d like to get a look in the secret places:)
Sarah Shaw says
I think I could spend days and days absorbing all the art.

Oh, yeah, Sarah, with short breaks for a capuccino from time to time, don’t you think?

And I’m sure there are a lot of them, Maggie 🙂 ~
