The Vatican City, situated on the right bank of the Tiber in Rome, is the Pope's official residence. The Basilica of Saint Peter, one of the most magnificent Catholic churches in the world, stands here. The Vatican is an independent country, with its own currency and stamps, and the Pope is the head of the state. The vast number of works of art concentrated here make it one of Italy's most important cultural centres. |
