The First Vatican Council was convoked December 8th, 1869 but was suspended in 1870 with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. The council never resumed and was finally formally closed in 1960.

The Second Vatican Council opened October 11th, 1962 and was closed December 8th, 1965.

The reason that this and all other Vatican councils in the future will be held in Rome is because Rome is the head of the Catholic Church.
