Welcome to the Vatican, which has been an independent country since 1929. St. Peter's Basilica was built on the site of St. Peter's tomb in the 16th and 17th centuries and is the Catholic Church's headquarters. The interior is massive, consisting of artworks from Italy's greatest artists, and has the city's largest dome, stretching 41.5m in diameter.                                                  |
