Pope Leo XIV to Move into Apartment in Apostolic Palace
Share:
Pope Leo XIV will take up residence in an apartment within the Apostolic Palace, ending a decade-long vacancy in the papal quarters. The papal residence in the Apostolic Palace has remained empty since 2013, when Pope Francis chose to live in the Casa Santa Marta guesthouse instead of the traditional papal apartments. The move represents a return to conventional papal living arrangements after Francis broke with centuries of tradition by declining to occupy the ornate papal quarters in the Vatican's main administrative building.
