Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world, located in the heart of Rome. It is the spiritual and administrative seat of the Catholic Church and the official residence of the Pope.
With an area of only 44 hectares, it is home to some of the most extraordinary artistic and architectural treasures, such as St. Peter’s Basilica, with its iconic dome designed by Michelangelo, and the Vatican Museums, which house masterpieces such as the Sistine Chapel frescoed by Michelangelo.
Vatican City has its own sovereignty, a security force (the Swiss Guard) and a population composed mainly of religious people and employees. Thanks to its rich cultural and religious heritage, it is one of the most important pilgrimage and tourist destinations in the world.
