Description: Includes an excellent quasi-official 125-page guide to The Vatican, the seat of power for the Roman Catholic Church, with over 5,000 bishops, 400,000 priests and 1.35 billion adherents, the world’s largest organized religion. Located in the center of Rome, and presided over by the Pope, Vatican City is the world’s smallest sovereign state, covering just 110 acres and home to perhaps 450 permanent residents. This vintage volume includes maps, a historical profile of Vatican City (created in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty), as well as a guide to the various tourist attractions within the Holy See, both for religious pilgrims and lay travelers alike (from the Edizione Monumenti, Musei e Gallerie Pontificie, circa 1975); and several vintage postcards, including one for Saint Peter’s Square, the dramatic circular plaza in front of the Basilica of Saint Peter’s, a natural gathering spot for religious pilgrims & tourists, another featuring what appears to be an official portrait of Pope John Paul II (identified here, in Italian, as “Giovanni Paolo II"), and yet another, more whimsical one of the holy father who served as pope from 1978-2005.
