So impressive I was in the Vatican city, the idea itself is so excited, this fantastic country, the richest in the world, the most important for the Chrisitian spirituality on the planet, and the most famous place on Earth.

A very enjoyable tour of Vatican City. Even though I've been here, this was an eye-opening group of pages. Your photographs are vibrant and vivid and your historical perspective is enlightening.
