The Papal States, established in AD 754 through the Donation of Pepin, were a sovereign territory under the direct rule of the Pope in Rome. Throughout their existence until 1870, the Papal States served as a vital spiritual and political center for the Catholic Church. The region played a crucial role in preserving and promoting Catholicism, acting as a bastion of faith and authority. It also played a significant role in supporting the arts, culture, and education, fostering an environment that contributed to the Renaissance.
