Vatican

This OpenStreetMap vector data extract for the Vatican region enables precise spatial analysis, cartography, and application development for the world's smallest sovereign state. The free daily updated .pbf file supports standard processing workflows with osm2pgsql and QGIS. For users requiring immediate visualization, a paid QGIS 3 project is available as an optional upsell, featuring pre-styled Shapefile and GeoPackage layers along with custom icons. Geographically, the Vatican is located entirely within the city of Rome, enclosed by high walls, and contains the central plaza of St. Peter's Square, serving as the primary focus for detailed mapping and urban planning efforts in this micro-region.
