The Vatican is probably the smallest country in the world. In order to gain the support of the Pope, Mussolini signed a treaty with the Holy See, recognizing the Vatican as a sovereign state belonging to the Pope, and the Pope has secular rule over its territory. Its territory is located on the northwestern highlands of Rome, the capital of Italy, and is bounded by the Vatican Walls, with an area of only square kilometers.
The Vatican is a theocratic state. The Pope is the head of the body and has legislative, judicial, and executive powers. Like any other country, this tiny country flies its own flag, mints its own coins, runs its own post, transportation, ** system, radio station, and so on.
It can be said that "although the sparrow is small, it has all the liver and gallbladder". The Vatican has diplomatic relations with many countries and has "holy envoys", "representative envoys" or "apostolic representatives" in more than 100 countries and regions. It feeds itself on tribute and tourism from Catholic institutions around the world.
If it is different from other countries, what the Vatican lacks is probably immigration and customs. We enter and leave the country without looking at passports and visas or going through customs. The only places in the Vatican that are open to the public are St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica.
The square is flanked by rows of colonnades, in a semicircular shape, that connect to St. Peter's Basilica, like two arms extending from the church, welcoming visitors. Since the square is surrounded by houses, it is difficult to get a full view of the square from any angle if you shoot it from the ground. We went to the Vatican early that day, there were not many tourists there, and St. Peter's Square seemed very empty.
It is said that when the Pope celebrates Mass, hundreds of thousands of Catholics pour into the square, and the square is very crowded. The local guide told us that we could have seen the Pope celebrate Mass, but unfortunately the Pope was visiting Canada in those days. It seems that we do not have enough fate with the Pope.
We had to follow the same route as other tourists, taking photos in front of St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica, and going to the Vatican post office to buy a few postcards to send to our friends and family to prove our visit. Exactly: one city and two countries, and many small temples with many believers.
I was fortunate enough to visit Rome, but I didn't have the opportunity to worship the Holy Buddha.
