Vatican City
Torre San Giovanni (St. John's Tower), on a hilltop in the westernmost tip of Vatican City and overlooking the Vatican Gardens is along an ancient wall built by Pope Nicholas III and was rebuilt by Pope John XXIII in the early 1960s. The Tower houses papal apartments used by popes when maintenance work is being done on the Apostolic Palace and is also reserved for illustrious guests of the Pontiffs.
