We walked to Vatican City today and found a tour to take. Here are a few cool facts about the Vatican.
- Vatican City is it's own country- it is the only country you don't need a passport for.
- St. Peter's church is 4 football fields long
- Michelangelo did not want to paint the Sistine Chapel. He was summoned to do it by the Pope at that time.
- Each part of the Sistine Chapel has something to do with Christianity history before and after Christ.
Our tour was really informative and worth it.
