The smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population. Main episcopal see of 1.2 billion Latin and Eastern Catholic. Cultural sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. They feature some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. St. Peter's Square, the basilica and obelisk, from Piazza Pio XII. The Constantinian basilica was built in 326 over what was believed to be the tomb of Saint Peter. The military defence of Vatican City is provided by Italy and its armed forces, given the fact that Vatican City is an enclave within Italy. Vatican City has no armed force of its own, the Swiss Guard being a corps of the Holy See responsible for the personal security of the Pope. Don Despain of Rekindle Photo. 5491
