<div id="ygrps-yiv-2101838605">I just posted a photo from a 1972 article I&#39;ve saved for years that <br/>
pictures the Camp Santo Teutonico which is surrounded by the building <br/>
that houses the Teutonic College, just to the west of St. Peters.  <br/>
I&#39;ve tried for years to learn how this came to be and to learn what <br/>
German official administers it.  <br/>
<br/>
Does anyone have any insight?  <br/>
<br/>
Is the whole building that surrounds the cemetary extraterritorial, or <br/>
just the cemetary within the walls?  <br/>
<br/>
The existence of this piece of land with this status begs the question <br/>
as to whether the barracks of the Swiss guards have any <br/>
extraterritorial status we never hear about?  Are there any other <br/>
extraterritorial or diplomatic enclaves in the Vatican proper, or are <br/>
all countries that have relations with the Holy See represented by <br/>
ambassadors who are housed outside the Vatican at ther missions to <br/>
Italy?  <br/>
<br/>
I know that during WWII there were diplomats who were &quot;trapped&quot; in the <br/>
Vatican, in some cases for years, but I don&#39;t think their presence <br/>
there made the ground they stood on or the rooms in which they <br/>
performed their official magic at any given time, into little mobile <br/>
extraterritorial pieces of wherever it was that they had come from. <br/>
But even though I don&#39;t think that, it could have been. No?  <br/>
<br/>
