Many believe that earth brought from Golgotha by Saint Helena was spread over there area to symbolically unite the blood of Christ with the blood that was shed by thousands of early Christians that were persecuted under the rule of Nero.

Where the Vatican Gardens are today was once the area known as Nero's circus. Here is where thousands of Christians were martyred and Saint Peter was crucified upside down. Today, the area of Vatican City, Holy See is protected by Medieval and Renaissance walls as well as the Swiss Guards and their own police force.
