Information about the Swiss Guard: The Swiss Guard, also known as the Papal Swiss Guard, is a military unit responsible for the protection of the Pope. It was formed in 1506 and to this day consists exclusively of Swiss citizens. Soldiers of this unit must meet a number of requirements, including being Catholics, holding Swiss citizenship, having completed military service in Switzerland, and demonstrating excellent physical condition.
