Papal Apartments
The Papal Apartments are a collection of rooms, both private and state, located on the top floor of the Apostolic Palace, which have served since the 17th century as the religious residence of the Pope as pontiff of the Catholic Church. Prior to 1870, the Pope's official secular residence as sovereign of the Papal States was the Quirinal Palace, now the official residence of the president of Italy.
