The location of Vatican City within Europe.
An enlargeable map of Vatican City State, including extraterritorial properties of the Holy See bordering Vatican City.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and introduction to Vatican City:

Vatican City – an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical[1] state, being the sovereign territory of the Holy See and ruled by the Bishop of Rome—the Pope, the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The territory of this landlocked sovereign city-state consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome, Italy. It has an area of approximately 49 hectares (121 acres)[a] and a population of about 825.[b] This makes Vatican City the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population.
