Built in the 14th century, the Popes' Palace is a remarkable ensemble of two buildings: the Old Palace of Benedict XII and the New Palace of Clement VI. Step into the largest mediaeval fortress in the world and the most expansive Gothic palace ever constructed, with 15,000 m² of living space—equivalent to four Gothic cathedrals. Explore the pope's private gardens, now restored to their former glory, featuring the reconstructed griffin fountain and vibrant flower-filled meadows.
A new experience is now available with original interpretive narratives and the opening of previously inaccessible rooms. The tour, structured around three themes, is enriched with educational tools: interactive models, documentary films, explanatory panels, and updated signage. Immerse yourself in the daily and grand history of the Popes' Palace.
