A sovereign nation located inside of Rome, Vatican City is the smallest independent city-state in the world, based on both land mass (110 acres) and population (821). It is actually separate from the Holy See of the Catholic Church.
The Vatican Museum includes such world-famous rooms such as The Sistine Chapel with its painted ceiling by Michelangelo, Gregorian Egyptian Museum and the Stanze of Raphael rooms.
