Behind The Scenes Of The Vatican

The Vatican's post office on November 16, 2015. Funnily enough, in Italy many Romans travel to the Vatican City Post Office to post their critical letters as a result of their distrust for the Italian postal systems. The Vatican's post office sends millions of letters every year and its services are more reliable. In fact the Vatican City's postal system was to be 'one the best postal systems in the world', by the Universal Postal Union. The Vatican's post office also sells some special types of stamps and envelopes to the tourists. Photo by Eric Vandeville/ABACAPRESS.COM
