Vatican City, World Heritage Site in Vatican City, Italy

St. Peter's Basilica stands at the center of Vatican City, featuring Renaissance architecture with a 136-meter-high dome designed by Michelangelo and Bernini.

The Lateran Treaty of 1929 established Vatican City as a sovereign state, making it the smallest independent nation in the world.

The Vatican Museums display over 70,000 artworks across 54 galleries, including the Sistine Chapel with its painted ceiling by Michelangelo.

Visitors need to follow a dress code that requires covering shoulders and knees when entering St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums.

The Vatican Post Office operates its own mail service and issues stamps, which collectors consider more reliable than Italian postal services.
