Importance, economy and other aspects of Vatican:

This small state is home for the head of the Catholic church, the Pope. It is separated from Rome by its medieval walls. Almost all the earnings come from the other churches and from the world’s churchy people who come here to pray and to visit the largest roman-catholic basilica in the whole world,  the beautiful Basilica of Saint Peter. (Find more journeys on blog.worldlifetimejourneys.com) The Pope has the entire power here, protected by Swiss guards more than 100 in number. The Papal State gets some money from selling tickets and souvenirs to the tourists. Visit Vatican!
