Vatican City, an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy, serves as the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church. Established in 1929, it is governed by the Pope, who has full sovereign authority over the territory. Vatican City is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world, covering an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres).
The city-state is home to numerous culturally significant sites, including St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums, which house centuries of art and history. St. Peter's Basilica is renowned for its Renaissance architecture and is one of the largest churches in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year.
Vatican City also serves as a spiritual center for Catholics worldwide, with the Pope as a central figure in guiding the beliefs and practices of the Church. Its unique status allows it to maintain diplomatic relations with other sovereign states while playing a significant role in global religious and humanitarian efforts.
