On my trip to Rome some time ago, one of the places I visited was the Vatican.

Going for the first time to a country within a country, one of the few in its kind of the world, still impresses me.

The Vatican has its own laws, its own security, bank, etc.

Also impresses me the amount of valuable things, culturally and economically speaking, I saw there.

Lot of gold and art everywhere.

On the roofs, on the embroidered carpets, on the floor.

And even it is prohibited, to the point that there are police in the room to avoid it, I took some photos of the Sistine Chapel. I know it's wrong but how not to do it.

Another of my dreams that has come true, see the work of Michelangelo there.

Another thing that called my attention were two old and huge spheres, one a map of the Earth and another an astral map.

What is clear to me, if it was not already, this trip inside the Vatican compound was that the Catholic Church has a lot of money, a lot.
