How Large is Vatican City?

View of the Vatican

The independent Vatican City State is the smallest and one of the most closed countries in the world, established in 1929. It is located on the territory of Rome, Italy, and is ruled by the Pope, the bishop of Rome. Its size is only 0.44 square kilometers or 110 acres. Moreover, it is 0.6 miles or 1.05 kilometers long and 0.5 miles or 0.85 kilometers wide. However, despite its size, the Vatican contains famous worldwide collections of sculptures, paintings, a library with more than one million books, and the same number of manuscripts. Of course, it is worth mentioning its notable Gardens, St. Peter’s Cathedral, the dome with the highest viewing point of the Eternal City, the Vatican museums, and the Sistine Chapel.

For the last 10 years, I live in the Eternal City. Traveling, exploring new things, writing blogs, and shooting vlogs are my main hobbies, but the thing that I like even more is sharing my experience and thoughts with you! Explore Rome with Us :)
