The Vatican City (Città del Vaticano in Italian) is an independent city state controlled by the Pope in the centre of Rome (Bishop of Rome). It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church's power. The Vatican is Europe's tiniest state. It covers a total area of 0.44 km2 and houses roughly 1000 people.
The Pope resides in the Apostolic Palace, which is surrounded by lovely gardens, in this little state. The palace is open to the public, although reservations are required. With the signing of the Lateran Treaty between Pope Pius XI and Mussolini on February 11, 1929, the Vatican City was declared independent from the rest of Italy.
