The Vatican embassy in Washington, DC (the Apostolic Nunciature) has asked local zoning officials to approve construction of a 6-foot high security fence around the embassy grounds, in anticipation of the visit of Pope Francis, the catholicculture.org website reported.

Embassy officials said that the Secret Service had recommended the fence as one in a series of security measures to be taken before the arrival of Pope Francis in September.

Tentative plans for the fence showed an iron fence with several stone columns on the property at 3339 Massachusetts Avenue in Washington.

The zoning board was assured that the fence would be “attractive and compatible with the building on the property.”
