ArtistCreate a scene of the Medieval papal palace unearthed in Rome during renovations The remains of a palace that once served as a medieval residence for the popes have been discovered in Rome. The church leaders lived at the Lateran before moving to the Vatican. “Every stone tells us a story,” Italian officials believe that the remains of the palace may date back to Emperor Constantine. According to his vision, the ruler began overseeing the construction of the building in the 4th century. The palace was expanded and renovated multiple times during the medieval period and ultimately became the papal residence. Successive popes resided there until 1305. Then, the papal residence was temporarily moved to Avignon in southern France. In 1377, Pope Gregory XI moved the seat of the head of the Catholic Church back to Italy—this time to the Vatican.
