How we measure
1 Vatican = 1,045 m (0.65 mi), the longest straight line you can draw across the Vatican. Distances run along the Earth’s surface from the nearest edge of the Vatican (its main landmass: far-off islands and overseas territories aren’t counted), so anywhere inside it is 0 Vaticans away. The width comes from vatican.va, because map outlines this small aren’t precise enough.
