Leaders and common faithful practitioners travel from across the world to Vatican City, a sovereign state within Rome, Italy, for the opportunity to experience religious and historical holiness. Apart from possessing the seat of the papacy, designed in just 110 acres, Vatican City is home to top worlds artworks such as The Sistine Chapel and The School Of Athens. Rumored to be built over the crucified and buried remains of St. Peter himself, the square is in itself a work of art, designed in part by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and is intended to embrace visitors with architectural open arms. As a holy icon in the Roman Catholic Church, St. Peter’s Basilica is the worldwide center for pilgrimage.

Vatican City may be an incredibly holy place full of hope and prayer, but the mystery of the next spiritual destination is simply impalpable.
