HISTORICAL CITY VATICAN
Surrounded by historical traces,the city of Vatican has a religious atmosphere.A truly international city,Vatican attracts hundreds of thousands of visiters every year from all over the world. Especially,archaelogists come there to make researches about churches.
Vatican has many churches to see,like the historical beauty of St.Peters Square,which is very huge and has symbols of the 4 elements on its floor.Vatican has the smallest population and the smallest area in the world so they have got a small army.The most of the security services given by Italian soldiers and Swiss soldiers.There are huge walls which seems to me like prison surrounding Vatican.In diplomacy,Pope is both the president of the country and the head of religion.
Vatican is also well-known for its cathedrals.The St.Peters Basilica and Sistine Chapel is most popular of them.St.Peters Basilica has a breath-taking view and it has got gorgeous patterns.Even before you enter the basilica you can smell the odor of the stones.They have got some traditional clothes.The Swiss soldiers' wear orange and purple uniforms.
It was like living in 1940s in history.There is a film about Vatican called 'Angels and Demons'.I was very much influenced by this film so I wanted to write about Vatican.
