The Vaticano district (English: Vatican district) was one of the four districts of Rome, on the west bank of the Tiber River and the location of some of Rome's greatest landmarks, such as the Basilica di San Pietro, the Capella Sistina, and the Castel Sant'Angelo.
History
In December 1499, Pope Alexander VI was giving mass in the Sistine Chapel when he was attacked by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The Pope survived the attack; Ezio and his accomplice were last seen fleeing towards the Tiber River.[1]
In June 1501, Ezio broke into the Castel Sant'Angelo and freed Caterina Sforza, who was being held captive there. The Assassin returned again in August 1503, when he stole the Apple of Eden from St Peter's Square and escaped.[2]
Trivia
- The Vaticano District does not include any shops or landmarks that can be renovated. It does have two Doctors, two pigeon coops and a Lair of Romulus. No Tunnels reach this district: it can only be accessed by crossing the Tiber at the Centro District.[2]
- In terms of area this is the smallest of all districts in Italy, yet it includes the largest and tallest structures (Basilica di San Pietro and the Castel Sant'Angelo respectively).[2]
- On crossing the border that separates the Vaticano District from the Central District, the sky's color changes greatly. This is due to the fact that unlike the rest of Rome, this district never falls out of Borgia rule.[2]
- It is the only district to feature Cardinals and Papal Guards outside of game missions.[2]
