==Trivia==
*The Vatican did not include any merchants or landmarks that could be renovated. Additionally, it is treated as being free from Borgia control on the Borgia Tower map for the duration of the game.
*No tunnels reached the district. As such, it could only be accessed by crossing the Tiber, either via the Ponte Sant'Angelo or by using a boat.
*Of all the districts in Rome, the Vatican was the smallest.
*The Vatican is the only district in which cardinals and Papal Guards can be found outside of memories.
*Guards in the Vaticano District were better armored and could sustain more damage than guards found in other districts.
*In Assassin's Creed: Identity, the Vatican can only be operated a part around Castel Sant'Angelo. Because the gameplay does not support swimming, the player can only traverse the river by freerunning over boats connected between the Vatican and Centro District.
