Vatican City

Vatican City

Do you know who Pope Francis is? He's the most important Catholic leader in the world. We didn't see him, but we saw Vatican City where he lives and works. Vatican City is actually its own little country! It's next to Rome, Italy.

This is Pope Francis (but we did not see him)
