The Vatican is known as one of mankind's holiest shrines. Celebrating the history of civilization, the power of ideas, and the importance of the written word down through the ages, the Vatican brings together all that was grand, noble and beautiful in religious history. Located in the heart of Rome, this shrine sits on one of the world's smallest and most powerful nations, Vatican City.
Perhaps most popularized as the home of the Pope, the Vatican has been a behind-the-scenes influence on the destiny of Europe and contributed to the collapse of Soviet Communism. Though smaller that the U.S. Capitol grounds (just 108 acres), and with no natural resources or industry, this tiny city has played a pivotal role in shaping global history for nearly 2,000 years.
A unique tour of the famous sights of Vatican City and featuring in-depth interviews with scholars and journalists. THE VATICAN REVEALED provides a candid look at this awesome seat of power. |
