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.

Is Vatican City an independent country or a city in Italy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From about 1870 until the Lateran Treaty was signed in 1929 Vatican City was, for all intents and purposes, a part of Italy. The Pope was allowed a degree of autonomy and Italy did not interfere with the papacy. In 1929 Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI signed the Lateran Treaty that created Vatican City as an independent city-state.
