Vatican City (officially Vatican City State) is a country that is completely landlocked by [[Rome]] in [[Italy]]. It was preceded by the [[Papal States]] which were crushed by 1870, leaving the Vatican to be the last territory controlled by the [[Holy See]]. The Vatican became a state once more on February 11, 1929 when Benito Mussolini compromised with the [[Pope]] regarding the situation.
The country has a rich history, but it ties into the Bible by being the site of which many Christians were martyred: including [[Saint Peter|St. Peter]] who was crucified upside down in Modern-day Vatican.
