"Isn't there a wall around Vatican City?"

[Psalm 144]

That’s pretty cool. You can see over 300 years of evolving military science in those concentric walls.

[Holdem Or Foldem]

Thanks for the picture. I have never seen the aerial view which explains a lot. The Vatican wall appears to be taller and thicker than the walls the Israelis use to keep their murderous neighbors out. I wish we had a wall on the Mexican’t border like this. Oh the Hyocrisy’, what a Philistine this pope is.

[Mach9]

The remains of a wall certainly exist; but there are countless unobstructed, unguarded accesses. Directly in front of St. Peter’s are at least two large thoroughfares into the tiny city, not to mention the city’s multi-level underground parking lots. The queue shown in your photo is for entry to the Vatican Museum, not “the Vatican” or Vatican City. Most of the city is car-free (except for inhabitants’), but so are streets in the historic, and often walled, portions of just about every city in Italy, many of which (like Lucca) are more securely walled.
