in 1929, Vatican City becomes a Sovereign Country

 

On June 7, 1929, Vatican City was officially declared as a sovereign country. Situated within the city of Rome, Vatican City is the spiritual and administrative headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. The Lateran Treaty, signed on this momentous day, granted Vatican City its independent status, recognizing its autonomy and sovereignty as a distinct entity. This agreement, reached between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy, marked the resolution of longstanding disputes and solidified the Vatican’s position as a self-governing state. Since then, Vatican City has continued to serve as the spiritual heart of the Catholic faith and a symbol of religious influence and cultural heritage worldwide.
