Vatican City, one of the holiest sites in Christianity, pays homage to a spiritual endeavor and a history that spans over two millennia. The Vatican is inextricably linked to the history of Christianity since it is the final resting place of the Apostle Saint Peter, the first in a long line of Roman pontiffs, and a major destination for pilgrims. It is also a flawless work of art and a brilliant illustration of Renaissance and Baroque painting. It began to significantly impact the evolution of the arts in the sixteenth century.
