It has its own telephone system, post office, gardens, astronomical observatory, radio station, banking system, and pharmacy, as well as a contingent of Swiss Guards that have been responsible for the personal safety of the pope since 1506. Vatican City is also home to some of the most famous art in the world, including works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Raphael in the Sistine Chapel (among other artists), as well as the incredible architecture of St Peter’s Square and Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, and Vatican Museum.
