The Vatican Secret Archives are infamous for what people believe is hidden within them. Located in Vatican City, they are the central repository for all of the acts promulgated by the Holy See, as well as state papers, correspondence, papal account books, and many other documents and artefacts which the church has accumulated over the centuries. In the 17th century, under the orders of Pope Paul V, the Secret Archives were removed from the Vatican Library and remained absolutely closed to Vatican outsiders until the late 19th century, fuelling rumours and conspiracy theories of what might be secreted away there.
