how many swiss guards are there in vatican city

The Pontifical Swiss Guard is a small army that is responsible for the safety and security of the Pope, the Apostolic Palace, and the Vatican City. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, there are approximately 100-110 Swiss Guards serving in Vatican City.

To be more precise, the Pontifical Swiss Guard typically has:

* 1 Captain (or Commander)
* 2 Lieutenants
* 1 Chaplain
* 100-110 Halberdiers (infantrymen)

The Swiss Guards are known for their distinctive Renaissance-style uniforms and their impressive training. They are one of the smallest armies in the world, but they have a long and storied history of protecting the Pope and the Vatican City.

Please note that these numbers may have changed since my knowledge cutoff, and I’ll be happy to try to find more up-to-date information if you’d like.
