The Oldest Army in the World – In Service of the Pope since 1506.
More than five centuries of courage, faith, and dedication.
We are the Swiss Guards — soldiers of tradition and conviction, protectors of the Holy Father, heirs to a timeless mission.

Rooted in the legacy of Pope Julius II and inspired by the bravery of those who fought alongside Pope Leo IX, we stand at the crossroads of history and modernity.
Ceremonial yet vigilant, humble yet resolute — we embody the honor of serving the Successor of Saint Peter.

Step into our world. Witness discipline, brotherhood, and devotion in the heart of the Vatican.
