Cities are sprawling with all kinds of structures and all the facilities needed for people’s livelihood. But there are places in the world that have all the status of a city with a smaller area than a village and less population. Here are some of such tiny cities for your viewing pleasure…
Hamilton, Bermuda
The British-controlled city was founded in 1793. Became the capital of Bermuda in 1815. Hamilton has a population of less than a thousand.
Adamstown, Pitcairn Islands
Adamstown is a small town on the British-controlled Pitcairn Islands. It is the capital of the Pitcairn Islands. Hence it is known as the least populated capital of the world. Only about 50 people live here. The influx of tourists keeps the city alive and bustling with people.
Hmm, Croatia
It holds the distinction of being the smallest city in the world, Hum. There are only two streets here. So wondering how big the population would be? Only about 30 people live there. Hence Hum is known as one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the world.
The Vatican
Being the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, it is not only a small city but also has the distinction of being the smallest country in the world. Its total area is 0.44 square kilometers. About 800 people live here.
Tarpuy, Belgium
The place was granted city status in 1331 by King John of Bohemia. 400 people live here permanently. However, the arrival of tourists continues throughout the year. So it runs like a PC city.
London, England
Would you believe that London is also included in the list of smallest cities in the world? Millions of people can live there. But London’s city limits have remained the same since ancient times. No official border extension has been made. So the area of London is 2.9 square kilometers.
Bronkhorst, Netherlands
It is a town with a population of less than 200. But technically it has all the qualifications for city status. People settled here in the 7th century. A few minutes’ walk is enough. Let’s explore this city.
