	Vatican Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vatican Hill (in Latin, Vaticanus Mons) is the name given, long before the founding of Christianity, to one of the hills on the side of the Tiber opposite the traditional seven hills of Rome.
		The Vatican Hill is not one of the famous seven hills of Rome, although it was included within the city limits of Rome during the reign of Pope Leo IV, who between 848 and 852 A.D. expanded the city walls to protect St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican.
		However, the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, is not St. Peter's in the Vatican, it remains St. John Lateran, which is on one of the seven hills of Rome (the Caelian), and is extra-territorially a part of the Vatican city-state.

		As it is recognized today, the Vatican State consists of the City of the Vatican; this is the area of Rome recognized by the treaty of the Lateran as constituting the territorial extent of the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See.
		But the main function of the Vatican is to be the officially recognized diplomatic-political centre of the Catholic Church; as an independent sovereign State it sends its own representatives to the various Governments of the world, while big and small nations send their ambassadors to the Vatican.
		The ideal to be achieved is the conclusion of a treaty between the Vatican and the Government concerned; and although negotiations for such treaties are usually carried out directly, between the panties concerned, the role of the Papal diplomatic representatives is of the utmost importance.

	Blogcritics.org: Lauryn Hill blasts Vatican audience
		I think Lauryn Hill should not have attended the event at all if she had such strong views about the vatican and using that opportunity to attack the vatican is just daft.
		Therefore, Ms Hill using an invitation to perform in Xmas celebrations to verbally attack the vatican on an issue that the vatican are well aware of and have been attacked from all angles because of, is simply an exhibition of a certain lack of etiquette and class.
		Hill i felt those comments needed to be made, and to whoever wanted to know if she is that "ball-sy" in her own home...yeah she more than likely is (she's a GEMINI) and she said herself that she is very outspoken and that her and her husband used to beef all the time.

	The Vatican and Environs
		Vatican City is a sovereign country in and of itself, is the smallest nation in the world, and encompasses some 108 acres (about 440,000 square meters) and is completely surrounded by Rome.
		The reasoning for the transference, I believe, is that Vatican officials feared there would be too much congestion in the Vatican Grottoes after the canonical recognition of the Blessed Pope John XXIII due to mass pilgrimages of worshippers to the pontiff's grave site, so the body was transferred to the main floor of the Basilica.
		It is the parish of the Vatican City and was begun in 1572 by Vignola for the Congregation of the Footmen of the Papal Court (which no longer exist), during the reign of Pius V. It was assigned to the Agostinian Fathers.

		Today we enjoy the fruits of their talent, immersing ourselves in an extraordinary past—a past that, in the Vatican, is as immediate as the present.
		Peter the Apostle was buried at the foot of the Vatican Hill, and on his sacred grave site the Catholic Church would establish its seat, the tremendous Basilica of St. Peter.
		With its 14 museums, its own specially commissioned artworks, its priceless library collections, and its sheer religious symbolism, the Vatican is much more than the sum of its parts: It's an organism that inspires and produces the very art and faith that then enrich it further—like a circular galaxy in a process of continuous expansion.

	What does the word Vatican mean?
		In the fourteenth century, when the papacy was returned to Rome from Avignon (France), the present-day Vatican became the residence of the popes, and the word came to refer to the enclave in the middle of Rome that had become the seat of the Roman Catholic Church.
		The Vatican City is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and since the Lateran Concordat of 1929 it is also an independent country, the epitome of Church and State combined.
		The pope fortified Vatican hill against future attacks and included it within the perimeter of the newly strengthened city walls, the remains of which can still be seen today around the Vatican and the rest of the city of Rome.

		On the Vatican Hill of Rome one can find a chronicle of the history of man. It is a system of buildings, Museums, monuments and irreplaceable works of art telling of the great adventure of human civilization.
		This volume explains how the Museums were organized in the ancient Vatican Palaces at the very time when a plethora of projects and works had been entrusted to great architects such as Bramante and Michelangelo for a wide-ranging reorganization of St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Palaces.
		Although a visit to Vatican City would be a wonderful experience, this ambitious and handsomely packaged 8-volume roam through the city's museums and buildings is a) much less expensive than a real trip, b) offers a guided tour, and c) uses supporting contextual footage not found in your Fodor (print) handbook.

		Peter was martyred here at the Vatican around 61 A.D. Then it was just a hill with Emperor Nero's circus at the bottom.
		The obelisk remains to this day and it is reasonable to believe that Peter saw the obelisk before he was crucified upside-down on his cross.
		He was entombed on the hill and the early Christians eventually received permission to mark the spot.
