	Apostolic Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apostolic Palace, also called the Papal Palace or the Palace of the Vatican, is the official residence of the Pope in the Vatican City.
		The palace is a complex of buildings, comprising the Papal Apartment, the Catholic Church's government offices, a handful of chapels, the Vatican Museum and the Vatican library.
		After the final overthrow of the Papal States in 1870, the King of Italy confiscated that palace in 1871, making it the king's official residence; after the abolition of the Italian monarchy in 1946, it became the President of the Italian Republic's residence.

	Palais des Papes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Avignon became the residence of the Popes in 1309, fleeing the violent chaos of Rome.
		The Palais was built between 1335 and 1364 on a natural rocky outcrop at the northern edge of Avignon, overlooking the river Rhône.
		Although the Palais remained under papal control (along with the surrounding city and Comtat Venaissin) for over 350 years afterwards, it gradually deteriorated despite a restoration in 1516.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Vatican
		North of the printing offices and parallel to the eastern longitudinal wing of the palace is the huge house which Pius X reconstructed for the married officials and the servants of the palace.
		The palace forms a special parish, the administration of which is entrusted to the Monsignor Sagrista, sacristan of the pope, assisted by the sottosagrista, who has charge of all the vestments and vessels used in the five chapels of the palace.
		The barracks of the Guards lies at the foot of the Palace of Sixtus V. A portion of the building was erected in 1492 during the reign of Alexander VI.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Master of the Sacred Palace
		A further division of labour was made by Benedict XIV (Decree, "Inclyta Fratrum", 1743); at present the companion preaches to the papal household, and a Capuchin preaches to the pope and to the cardinals.
		One of the occasional duties of the Master of the Sacred Palace is performed in conjunction with the auditors of the Rota; namely to watch over the three apertures or "drums" through which during a conclave the cardinals receive all communications.
		The offical apartment of the Master of the Sacred Palace was in the Quirinal, and until recently it contained the unbroken series of portraits of the Masters of the Sacred Palace, from St. Dominic down.

	Avignon, european city of culture
		The old Papal City has, through its wealthy past, kept a lot of sumptuous monuments and it is at the foot hill of the Rocher des Doms (Dom's Rock) lined by the Rhône River, protected against the Mistral wind and by the old walls behind which the City of Avignon hides its treasures.
		Having put on the papal tiara on the head at Lyon, the new Pape decides, under the pressure of the suzerain to live in France.
		He demolishes the old palace and builds a huge fortress appropriate to pray and to defend : it is the "Old Palace", the stern architect of which is looking like his sponsor a modest Cistercian monk.

		Places of interest within the city include a huge 14th-century palace that once served as a residence and fortress of the popes.
		From 1309 to 1377, the period often referred to as the Babylonian Captivity of the popes, Avignon served as the seat of the papal court, and from 1378 to 1408 the city was the residence of several of the antipopes.
		During this period, even though Avignon was part of the Papal States and was nominally ruled by legates, the citizens were in reality free to govern themselves.

		The name Vatican is applied both to the palace of the pope at Rome, and to the papal administration in its official relations with temporal powers.
		The term is derived from the situation of the palace on the Vatican Hill (on the right bank of the Tiber), which, even as late as the time of Aurelian, formed no part of the city of Rome.
		The Vatican palace itself is a congeries of buildings measuring, according to the usual estimates, some 1,151 feet long by 767 broad (though these figures are probably under the true dimensions), and covering an area of 131 acres.

	Viterbo
		The Palace of the Popes was built during this period (several conclaves were held in Viterbo and four popes are buried in its churches) and in 1276 a Loggia delle Benedizioni (blessings) was built next to the palace.
		The courtyard of the palace is embellished by several papal coats of arms: the image here below shows also the baroque coat of arms of Innocentius XII (1691-1700), who had been governor of Viterbo and the Renaissance coat of arms of Paulus II (1464-71).
		Paulus III (1534-49) (Alessandro Farnese) was born near Viterbo and he tried to leave to his family a little state having as its capital Viterbo: many towns around Viterbo (Caprarola, Ronciglione, Nepi and the Duchy of Castro) became fiefs of the Farnese.

	Papal Palace, Avignon
		The immediate reason for the erection of the Papal Residence was the removal of the Curia from Rome to Avignon under Clement V. His successor, John XXII (Pope 1316-34), chose the palace of the Bishop of Avignon, his nephew Arnaud de Via, as his official seat and initiated the first extensions.
		The present aspect of the fortress-like block of buildings is due mainly to the erection of the east and northeast wings (Palais Vieux=Old Palace) by Benedict XII (Pope 1334-42) and the west wing (Palais Nouveau=New Palace) by Clement VI (Pope 1342-52).

	St Peter's - Saint Peter's by James Lees-Milne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The history of the papal palace of the Vatican is shorter than that of St Peter's Basilica by nearly eight hundred years.
		The Vatican Palace was at the end of the fifteenth century still a congeries of piecemeal structures making no concession to their surroundings, and scarcely deserving the name of architecture.
		Fully aware of the short duration of papal reigns and made wise by Pope Nicholas's experiences, he lost little time in setting about the task which even he, dauntless and indefatigable though he was, learnt towards the end of his life could never be accomplished by one incumbent of St Peter's throne.

		In the bowels of the edifice was a great cellar that housed seemingly countless gallons of wine extracted from rolling acres of papal vineyards and aged in ranks of immense wooden casks.
		Invariably, the castle corridors teamed with cardinals and curia officials, papal guards and squires, councilmen and lawmen, concubines with lowly gazes, knights and their lords, visiting dignitaries and their escorts, including distinguished relatives and private entertainers of the Supreme Pontiffs.
		Cardinal Raulin Toussain, the wiry unto being gristly overseer of the Palace Pantry and Boteillerie (the Bottle Storehouse), and the very obese yet delicate Cardinal Lilo Julin, master of the Kitchens and Banquet Hall, considered themselves epicures, and thus each had made certain to cultivate the friendship of the Cardinal of the Wines.

		While additions were made by the Pope to the Vatican Palace complex, including a benediction loggia to the front of St. Peter's Basilica,[4] in the city itself, Pius seems to have contented himself with the erection of his papal arms to the main public areas of the city itself.

		To the church in the fifteenth century, they were recent additions to papal art, having been avoided until the beginning of the previous century due to their military and secular connections.

		But in the 13th century it was one of the most prosperous and belligerent places in Italy, conquering neighboring towns, negotiating with the Holy Roman Emperors, kidnapping the College of Cardinals and trying to force them to vote for a candidate favored by the city fathers.
		Viterbese political allegiances were never reliable, however, and they veered between a pro-papal and a pro-imperial policy with such frequency that the Emperor Frederick II is rumored to have said he would rather die and go to hell than negotiate with the Viterbese.
		Keep in mind that all the private residences (except the papal palace!) shown here would have belonged to the most prosperous tradesmen.

		Providing an in-depth analysis of the palace's place in architectural history, Gary Radke also analyses the social history of the building, demonstrating how Viterbo's civic leaders were able to attract the popes to their city and how local builders accommodated papal taste, needs, and sensibilities.
		He reveals, moreover, how the building served the converging interest of the popes, the papal bureaucracy, and the local citizens.
