The Roman Catholic Church has always had its Capital in Rome.
The Catholic Church, or simply "the Church": there was no other in medieval Europe, and it certainly wasn't referred to as the Roman Catholic Church until the protestant revolt in England centuries later. The center of the Church was in Rome; the word "catholic" means universal. It was meant as the "universal church", or the church for everybody.
The home of the Catholic Church is Vatican City, Rome, Italy. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The very first Pope, St. Peter, was buried on Vatican Hill, and the center of Catholic Christianity has been in Rome ever since, Vatican City. See Taylor R. Marshall's book, The Eternal City Rome & the Origins of Catholic Christianity. (link below)

"The Holy See" at the Vatican in Rome, Italy
The Catholic Church is located in Rome because it is considered the center of the Catholic faith due to its historical significance as the city where Saint Peter, one of Jesus' apostles, was believed to have been martyred and buried. Rome also served as the capital of the Roman Empire, making it a prominent and influential city in the ancient world. This association with both early Christianity and the Roman Empire has solidified Rome's importance as the headquarters of the Catholic Church.
