The Apostolic Nunciature to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Venezuela, with the rank of an embassy. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the President of Venezuela, and as delegate and point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Venezuela and the Pope. The office of Apostolic Nuncio is currently always assigned to titular archbishops.

The Nunciature is located on the Avenida La Salle ('La Salle Avenue'), in Caracas 1050, in the Distrito Capital, Venezuela.

History

The Apostolic Nunciature was established as the Apostolic Delegation to Venezuela, led by Serafino Vannutelli in 1869. It was the result of an effort by the Holy See to establish communication between the Pope (Pius IX) and the several Latin American states. Formal relations, however, were not established until March 21, 1920, when the delegation was elevated to the rank of nunciature.
