The Vatican City State is the world's smallest independent city-state located within Rome.
The Vatican is governed by the Holy See, and is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal state ruled by the Pope since the 8thC.
It became independent from Italy with the Lateran Treaty. One of the most important sources of money for the Vatican's economy is tourism.
In 1984, Vatican City State was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; it is the only one to consist of an entire state.
