Vatican City

About Vatican City

Vatican City is the world's smallest sovereign state, situated on the Vatican Hill within Rome and serving as the seat of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. Home to roughly 880 permanent residents, the city-state encompasses St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Square, and the Vatican Museums. It gained independent statehood through the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Covering only a few dozen hectares, it concentrates an extraordinary density of religious heritage and diplomatic significance, making it a compelling destination for those interested in art history, architecture, and the history of Christianity.
