The Palace of the Popes of Viterbo is an architectural gem that reflects the historical significance of the city in the 13th century. Built between 1255 and 1266 at the initiative of Raniero Gatti, Captain of the People, the palace was expanded to host the papal Curia, which was relocated from Rome in 1257 by Pope Alexander IV due to hostility from the Roman populace.
The palace is an integral part of the Colle del Duomo Monumental Complex, which also includes the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Colle del Duomo Museum. A visit provides an immersive experience into the medieval history of Viterbo, allowing visitors to appreciate the architecture and the artworks preserved within the complex.
