Vatican. The main residence of the Popes in Rome since their return from
Avignon in 1377. Little of the existing building is earlier than the 15th cent. Extensive rebuilding was planned by
Nicholas V in 1447 and the palace was completed by
Clement VIII (d.1605). Under the Law of
Guarantees (1871) the Vatican, with the
Lateran and the Papal villa at
Castel Gandolfo, was granted extraterritoriality. The Vatican Museum houses valuable collections of early Christian art and antiquities; the Vatican Library contains important MSS. For the basilica, see
ST PETER'S, ROME.
