"The remains of a wall certainly exist."
Those are mighty impressive-looking "remains." Yes, the public has access to St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica, and a few museums and shops, just as foreigners have access to American tourist attractions, but most of the city is off-limits to the general public.
And it is out of the question for a non-citizen to just walk in and set up residence within the city limits.

History taught me that a wild population surge knocked over the Roman Empire, already weakened from within. From that, Europe was tossed into the Dark Ages.
You would think the “enlightened” Europeans would know their history better.

Noncitizens can’t set up residence ANYwhere in Bermuda or in Sweden, for that matter, without approval (and volumes of paperwork!).
” . . . [But most of the city is off-limits to the general public.” Like the publicly owned District of Columbia?
The walls shown in your model are as they were originally built, not what exists today.
