VATICAN CITY HISTORY

The Vatican City’s history as the Catholic Church’s capital began with the construction of Saint Peter’s Basilica back in the 4th century A.D. The basilica was built over St. Peter’s grave in Rome. Over the years, this area developed into a popular pilgrimage location and commercial site. However, following the move of the papal court to France back in 1309, the area was abandoned.

After the Church’s return to Italy in 1377, famous landmarks such as the new St. Peter’s Basilica, Sistine Chapel, and the Apostolic Palace were built within the Vatican borders. 

Vatican City State was established in its current form as a sovereign independent state by the Lateran Treaty Pacts in February 1929. and is open to the public. Pope Francis currently resides in Città del Vaticano, which serves as the seat of the Bishop of Rome and the central government of the Roman Catholic Church.
