That’s not a temple, that’s a country.
Gotta visit one day
Google says €5B in assets.
Assets are only worth what people will pay for them. Who is going to buy a basilica?
Some load of bollocks
The vatican only received its independence from Italy in 1929,
before that it was the papal states between 756 -1870 which covered the middle of Italy with the highest population of 3 million
Knock off the disinformation lads, it’s a bad look. You can spread it in Facebook if you like because it’s fairly brainless at the best of times. Don’t insult us with this rubbish please OP. Post responsibly.
The value of the “assets” stored in the place is very difficult to quantify but I suppose some would be considered priceless and that’s where this number is pulled from.
Fun fact ..the Vatican has the highest crime rate per capita in the world (mainly pick pockets)
