Papal Swiss Guards

Papal Swiss Guard in the Vatican founded in 1506 and is the oldest, continually active military corps in history and the worlds smallest army with just 110 soldiers!

 

These men are of Swiss nationality, catholics and well trained army men in the age group of 18-30.

 

A souvenir snapshot on the visit of Vatican in 2008.
