http://pf.bigpixel.cn/en-US/pano/6844841012913770496.html Maybe you have no idea where you are, but in fact you are now standing on the top floor of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican, the center of Catholicism with 1.3 billion followers in the world, which is dubbed as the nearest place to God. Look down and you’ll see Vatican City, the smallest country in the world in terms of area. With a population of less than 1000, Vatican boasts great influence no less than the U.S. There is this classical scene. When U.S. President Trump and Pope Francis were posing for a group photo, Trump secretly tried to hold the hand of Pope Francis and got slapped, making him mocked by general public. Here you can find the greatest artistic and architectural masterpieces of mankind, including works of Raphael, Michelangelo and Bernini. You can spend a whole day in the Vatican Museums. No matter if you understand art/history or not, you’ll be shocked by the magnificent masterpieces of mankind collected in the museums. Zoom in. Can you see the metal ball on the top of the obelisk? It’s said that the ashes of Julius Caesar were place in the ball.
