Vatican City has been inhabited for centuries, but it officially became an independent city-state in 1929 through the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and Italy.

It is not possible for individuals to buy property in Vatican City. The Vatican is both a city-state and the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic Church, and its properties are owned by the Holy See. The Vatican primarily serves as a place of religious and administrative functions, so property sales to private individuals are not permitted.
The Vatican City State, an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, was established on February 11, 1929, with the signing of the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and Italy. The Vatican itself, including St. Peter's Basilica, has a much longer history, with construction of the original basilica starting in the 4th century and subsequent modifications throughout the centuries.
The Vatican City is an independent city-state that serves as the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.
