Vatican City is home to some of the most famous art in the world. St. Peter's Basilica, is a renowned work of Renaissance architecture.
The Vatican Apostolic Library and the collections of the Vatican Museums are of the highest historical, scientific and cultural importance. In 1984, the Vatican was added by UNESCO to the List of World Heritage Sites.
