&quot;(...)After reading this site and other informations, I think that  <br/>
Sant&#39;Offizio was an extraterritorial zone contiguous to the vatican  <br/>
state since the Lateran treaty of 1929, so when  the Papal Hall was  <br/>
built in 1972, it was built part into Vatican territorial land and <br/>
part into extraterritorial land, so there was no land tranfer: simply <br/>
it&#39;s a building divided by the border, as you can see on another map <br/>
in the same site:<br/>

(...)&quot;<br/>
<br/>
I wonder whether that border is marked in any way inside the building.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I think you&#39;re right, that there was no land transfered. That <br/>
the Sant&#39;Offizio area is extraterritorial _and_ adjacent does show <br/>
very clearly the difference between extraterritorial and sovereign <br/>
Vatican territory.<br/>
<br/>
A list of the extraterritorial areas can be found at <br/>

ss_scv/informazione_generale/extraterritoriale_it.html . I don&#39;t <br/>
think there is made a difference between type 1 (no expropriation and <br/>
no taxes) and type 2 (no taxes) areas is made here.<br/>
