Introduction:

Vatican City, also known as the Vatican, is a landlocked city-state surrounded by Rome, Italy. It is the smallest sovereign state in the world by both area and population, covering just 110 acres and with an estimated population of about 800. The Vatican is the spiritual center of the Catholic Church and the residence of the Pope, who is the head of the Catholic Church.

The Vatican City was established in 1929 under the Lateran Treaty, which resolved the Roman Question and recognized the Vatican as an independent state. The city-state is governed by the Holy See, which is the supreme governing body of the Catholic Church. The Vatican's main industries are tourism and banking, and it is also a major center for education and religious research.

The Vatican is home to a number of iconic landmarks, including St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. The city-state is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
