The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world: its formation took place in 1929 by the signing of the Lateran Treaty which put an end to a long dispute between the Italian state and the church.
The heart of the Vatican is Basilica di San Pietro, the centre of the Christian world, the symbol of the church as an institution and the primacy of the Roman apostolic see, the "mother church" of all other Episcopal sees that are generated by it. Due to its symbolic value and the wealth of works of art inside the Vatican, it is the most visited site in the city, along with the Colosseum and Piazza Navona.
In the Vatican City, one of the main points of attraction are the Vatican museums, a rich collection of masterpieces, including the Cappella Sistina (Sistine Chapel), decorated with frescoes by Michelangelo with figures of prophets and Sybille, scenes from the old testament and the genesis.
The perimeter of the state is bordered by the Leonine wall (Mura Leonine), whose name is attributed to Pope Leo IV under whom the wall was built between 848 and 852 to protect the Vatican hill from attacks and looting. Its route has changed several times over the years until the lend of 1500.
