The Embassy of the Republic of China to the Holy See (Chinese: 駐教廷大使館) is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of China (Taiwan) accredited to Holy See, one of its few de jure embassies in the world, and the only one remaining in Europe.[2]

Its counterpart in the Republic of China is the Apostolic Nunciature to China in Taipei.[3]

It is separate from the Taipei Representative Office in Italy in Rome, which functions as a de facto embassy in Italy.[4]

History

The Republic of China established relations with the Holy See in July, 1942. After Xie Shoukang arrived in Rome on 26 January 1943, the legation was based in the Vatican City.[5] After the Second World War, the legation was moved to Rome. In June 1959, the Republic of China Legation was upgraded to an Embassy.

In March 2005, the embassy was moved to 4th, Via della Conciliazione.[6]
