Vatican City
20 minutes
While entering the Museum. As a 50-hectare enclave of Rome, Vatican City is near the Tiber River on the north of the Janiculum Hill and extends over part of the Montes Vaticani. It was constructed on the burial site of Saint Peter the Apostle. While walls enclose most of the territory occupied by Vatican City, the axis of the Basilica is open to the exterior. The spatial organisation of the ensemble includes long perspective views and a regular layout of buildings, squares and gardens. Religious and civic monuments, including masterpieces of the Renaissance and Baroque art, make up the small site. Two of these buildings, charged with symbols of history, are particularly prominent. Vatican Palace, the papal residence since the return from Avignon, was improved, in terms of its defence features, by Pope Nicholas V. Saint Peter’s Basilica was constructed, on the site of the basilica built by Constantine, as a result of the initiative of Pope Julius II.
