The Vatican is an independent country located within Rome that is governed by the Pope. It has a flag featuring gold and white colors representing gold and silver along with the keys of St. Peter. The Vatican was established in the 4th century with the construction of St. Peter's Basilica and became the center of the Catholic church. Today, the Pope has full authority over the Vatican and governs alongside a commission of cardinals, though it is a monarchy without hereditary rule. Popular sites include St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens, and the Vatican Library.
