The pontiff’s visit will be the first papal trip to Spain since 2011.
Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, confirmed on Wednesday that Pope Leo XIV would visit several foreign countries over the next few months, including Monaco and Spain.
Bruni said the pope would travel to the Principality of Monaco on March 28, becoming the first pontiff to visit the country.
The pope was also scheduled to travel to Spain June 6–12, 15 years after Pope Benedict XVI visited Madrid in the summer of 2011 for World Youth Day. The Vatican said it would announce further details about the trips in the coming weeks.
