ST PETER'S TREASURY MUSEUM AND VATICAN GROTTOES-Tombs of the Popes!
From an entrance door inside St. Peter's Basilica, you can visit the Treasury Museum, which features ornate gifts to kings and princes, including a heavily jeweled Papal Tiara. In the main room is the bronze funerary monument to Pope Sixtus IV-the Sistine Chapel was named after him. Underneath the main floor of St. Peter's Basilica is the Vatican Grottoes (not to be confused with the Necropolis which is even lower), containing several tombs of Popes. Both are very interesting and are highly recommended to visit after you see the main attractions in St. Peter's Basilica.

10 Secrets Hidden Inside the Vatican!
Possibly one of the most famous places in the world, Vatican City is supposedly a place of spirituality and holiness and yet its buried in such secrecy that we hardly know anything about it. Here are 10 Secrets Hidden Inside The Vatican!
1. Pride
The Vatican's official language isn't Italian, as most people would think, its actually Latin. Although other languages are still used in the city, official documents and processes are conducted in Latin. There's even an ATM in Latin, Inserito scidulam isn't a harry potter spell, it means Insert card.
2.Wrath
The holy office placed Galileo under house arrest until his death in 1642 for declaring that the Earth wasn't the center of the universe. The Vatican formally acknowledged that they were wrong in 1992, 350 YEARS LATER!
3. Lust
Tourists to the Vatican can by a calendar featuring photos of The Vatican's Hottest Priests taken by the Photographer Piero Pazzi, for just 10 euros!
4. Sloth
In the 1960s Pope john XXIII was asked by a Journalist How many people work in the Vatican? Pope John answered About half! to this day it is still unclear whether or not this was a joke.
5. Vanity
The Vatican has its own postal service which is used by a lot of the locals, and currency which is a form of euro. both currency and stamps have the popes head on them and are sought after by collectors.
6. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
In the year 964 pope John XII's reign of conspiracy and gross immorality ended. he was found dead in the arms of his lover, allegedly killed by her disgruntled husband!
7. Thou Shalt not Steal!
Though seen as a pure and holy city, The Vatican actually has the HIGHEST CRIME RATE IN THE WORLD! 1.5 crimes per citizen! although most of these crimes are petty theft, there has been a double murder!
8. No other gods before me!
The pope is the Absolute Monarch, he has TOTAL judicial, executive and legislative control over the Vatican state, and is the only absolute monarch left in Europe.
9. Thou Shalt not kill!
In 1974 the Franklin National Bank collapsed and the Vatican lost £20 million, it's owner died in prison after drinking poisoned coffee. In 1982 the Vatican-owned Banco Ambrosiano crashed with £700 million of debt, its Chairman Roberto Calvi was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge with bricks in his pockets.
10. Thou shalt not commit laundry!
US drug enforcement chiefs have identified the Vatican as a possible money laundering center following the movement of 23 million euros to 2 corner-street outfits in 2010. The State department have listed it as a country of concern!

The Vatican City | 10 Interesting Facts You Should Know
I’ll share with you 10 interesting things you should know about the Vatican, the heart of the Roman Catholic Church, while with we take a tour cared of Headout.
Top 10
1. The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world.
It is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope as the head. It even prints its own stamps, issues passport, has it’s own flag, anthem and media outlets
2. The Vatican doesn’t have taxation.
Their revenue is mainly from Museum admission fees, stamp and souvenir sales, and contributions.
3. The cold war between the church and the Italian government
For nearly 60 years the popes refused to leave the Vatican. Popes ruled over a collection of sovereign Papal States throughout Italy until the country was unified in 1870. The new government had seized all the land of the Papal States with the exception of the Vatican, and a cold war then broke out between the church and the Italian government. Popes refused to recognize the authority of the Kingdom of Italy, and the Vatican remained beyond Italian national control.
4. Benito Mussolini signed Vatican City into existence.
The dispute between the Italian government and the Catholic Church ended with the signing of the Lateran Pacts. This allowed the Vatican to exist as its own sovereign state and compensated the church $92 million (which is now more than a $1 billion in today’s money) for the Papal States. It was Benito Mussolini, the head of the Italian government, that signed the treaty on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III.
5. Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel.
We’re not allowed to take photos or videos inside the sistine chapel which was my favorite during our tour. So let me talk about it while we explore other parts of the Vatican.
The ceiling is divided into 9 central panels, which illustrates The Creation of the World, The Expulsion of Adam and Eve, and The Story of Noah.
The most famous of these panels was The Creation of Adam, which shows the figure of God touching the fingertip of Adam in order to bring him to life. They also said that the figure of God was shaped like the human brain.
Another popular panel was the Fall from Grace and Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and The Last Judgment located at the altar of the sistine chapel.
The composition depicts hell as is described by the poet Dante in his Divine Comedy.At the center of the painting is Christ and he is surrounded on all sides by nude figures, including apostles and saints. It is divided into the blessed souls, at left, and the damned, at right. Another interesting about this masterpiece of Michaelangelo was the fact that he drew the people he disliked on the faces of the damned souls at the right.’
6. Entirely UNESCO World Heritage Site
Not only Vatican Museums, but the whole Vatican city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.
7. Raphael Rooms and The School of Athens
One of the most famous paintings in the Raphael Rooms is the School of Athens representing philosophy and science and other disciplines. It is in part a homage to some of the most important artists and scholars active at the papal court at the beginning of the sixteenth century. This painting represents an idealized gathering of scholars and artists from the classical world, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and constitutes one of Raphael’s greatest achievements.
8. The Vatican Museum has one of the largest art collections in the world
The vatican museum has over 9 miles art collection with 1,400 rooms, chapels, ang galleries. And Michelangelo, onee of the most famous artists in the renaissance era, dedicated almost 10 years of his life just to complete the beautiful ceiling of thee sistine chapel. Another notable creation of his was the Pieta which is protected by a bullet proof glass located in St. Peter’s Basilica.
9. St. Peter’s Basilica - The Biggest Church in the World
It was said that The St. Peter’s Basilica sits atop a city of the dead, including St. Peter who is the leader of the Apostles and the first bishop of Rome— The present basilica, built starting in the 1500s, sits over a maze of catacombs and St. Peter’s suspected grave. It is also the biggest church in the world; there is even a measurement of some sort that compares it’s size to some of the famous churches around the world. It was also said that no building around Italian capital should be higher than the dome found in St. Peter’s Basilica.
10. The Swiss Guard of the Vatican City
The Swiss Guard’s role in the Vatican City is strictly to protect the safety of the pope. Although the world’s smallest standing army appears to be strictly ceremonial with it’s colorful uniforms, its soldiers are extensively trained and highly skilled marksmen. And, yes, the force is entirely comprised of Swiss citizens.

Vatican Museums: Raphael Rooms: Room of Heliodorus - 3D virtual tour & documentary
Join us on Patreon:
Discover one the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Museums, a masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, with this exciting 3D video.
Among the great artists that have worked in the Vatican, the name of Raphael shines the brightest and in fact, it’s here that he left some of his most beautiful work.
The Room of Heliodorus was where the pontiffs held their private audiences with ambassadors and kings.
It was the second room frescoed by Raphael and the entire decoration—not by chance—has purely political ends: its four frescoes were meant to show how, over the course of centuries, God had always protected Rome, the Faith, the pope and his works.

Vatican announces it will unveil secret archives of World War II in special exhibit
July 6, 2011. (Romereports.com) Starting in February 2012, the Vatican's Secret Archives won't just be seen by experts. For the first time, more than 100 original documents will leave the Vatican as they head to Rome's Capitoline Museums. It's all part of an exhibit titled Lux in Arcana. The Vatican Secret Archives Unveiled. Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, made the official announcement.
Card. Tarcisio Bertone
Secretary of State, Vatican City
I want to take this opportunity to praise this highly prestigious project that trumps stereotypes on both sides of the Tiber.
The documents of Galileo Galilei's trial will be shown, as well as documents relating to World War II. There will also be a letter written by American Indians on an actual piece of tree bark that was sent to Pope Leo XIII.
Choosing the documents wasn't easy. The shelves in the Vatican's Secret Archives run for 54 miles.
Bishop Sergio Pagano
Prefect, Vatican Secret Archives
We want the exhibit to show the consistency of the Vatican's Secret Archives. On a geographical basis, we tried to represent all nations or at least all the continents. It includes a historical view from oldest to most recent, a religious view that's not always limited to Catholicism.
The documents shown will be placed in glass cases to protect them from light and air.
The exhibit alone is historic. But it will also be the first time these documents will be made accessible to the public.
Gianni Alemanno
Mayor of Rome
We must recognize the work of archivists in showing these documents, allowing them to leave the walls of the Vatican so they can go into the city. It's a great act of transparency and a great gift to our city and to the entire world. It's something that has never happened and we don't know if it will ever happen again. I invite everyone to visit the exhibit because it's one thing to talk about Frederick II or about Galileo Galilei and it's another thing to read the records and see what really happened.
Bishop Sergio Pagano
Prefect, Vatican Secret Archives
This collaboration with the city of Rome came about because the Capitoline Museums are great. They're easily accessible and they're in the heart of Rome. They don't need the metal detectors that we at the Vatican need. They are perfect for visitors who travel alone or in groups.
It's a spectacular exhibition that will allow visitors to see first hand, the history and culture of the Church and of mankind.
