You are correct!!


Answer: The Paul VI Audience Hall, also known as the Hall of the Pontifical Audiences, is a building in Rome named for Pope Paul VI. It has a seating capacity of 12,000 and is designed in reinforced concrete by the Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi and completed in 1971. It was constructed on land donated by the Knights of Columbus.

The Audience Hall lies partially in the Vatican City but mostly in Italy: The Italian part of the building is treated as an extraterritorial area of the Holy See and is used by the Pope as an alternative to Saint Peter's Square when conducting his Wednesday morning General Audience.
