10 Mysterious Places You Aren’t Allowed To Visit
1. Vatican Secret Archives, Vatican City
Most texts, correspondence, papal accounts, state papers or other church documents contained within the Vatican Secret Archives can be requested for reading. The documents themselves aren't private, but the Pope doesn't want randoms walking about the place. Entering the building itself is strictly prohibited.
More than 35,000 volumes are said to be housed in the Archives, and almost all are accessible. The only limit imposed is on documents less than 75 years old.
Sitting adjacent to the Vatican Library, the Archives can be accessed in person should one gain permission from the pontiff himself. The chances of that are slim unless you happen to be pals with the guy, so it's hardly surprising the building isn't heavily populated.
Working there must be super-creepy.
