For almost a year, veteran National Geographic photographer Jim Stanfield captured nearly every corner of the Vatican, both the world's smallest country and the center of the Roman Catholic Church. Along with author Bart McDowell, he provides an insider's view into the history of this 108.7-acre enclave, from the first St. Peter's, built in the fourth century, through the amazing reign of Pope John Paul II, and beyond. Rarely seen areas of the complex, such as the Pope's personal quarters and the world-renowned libraries, and up-close views of the stunning and priceless art and architecture provide an unrivaled insider's look into this amazing nation.
Includes index.
Revision of the 1991 ed.
A place like no other -- The legacy of Peter -- The Holy See -- The city-state -- The treasures -- The modern papacy -- The papacy of Pope Benedict -- The popes.

With its combination of readable text and outstanding pictures, it's the next best thing to being there.&- (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
