Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. At only 109 acres, it packs a ton of history in a small space. The Catholic Church is headquartered within their own nation. Vatican City proper was created through a Treaty signed by Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI establishing the sovereign nation in 1929. Some of the world's most beautiful buildings reside inside the walls of the tiny nation. Some of those buildings are packed with works of art from everywhere the church touches. Others may be packed with secrets that will never see the light of day. Join us today as we explore the history, architecture,  and more than a few secrets while getting Historically High on Vatican City.
