I have never ever seen the Papal Apartments written in the singular, always in the plural. FearÉIREANN(talk) 23:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

--The rooms were originally highly decorated with rich ornate furnishings. However, following the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI (who as a young bishop had once suggested that popes should live in more modest rooms in the Lateran Palace, away from the Roman Curia, the papal court) had the private rooms in the Vatican Apartments stripped of all ornate decor, preferring what he viewed as a form of monastic simplicity. He also redesigned the private chapel. However, the latter redesign was criticized in some quarters, as excessively representative of architectural styles fashionable in the 1970s but which are no longer popular or liked.

Photos

[edit]

Could someone find a number of photos for this article? I think it needs a gallery section of some sort, with a couple placed in the article. Pictures of the pope blessing crowds from the loggia, the kitchen, private living area, the pope's library... I understand some areas are restricted and private, but surely some parts of the Apartments have been photographed. --Pstanton (talk) 00:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article incorrect on it supposedly ceasing to function as a papal palace

[edit]

I have removed the false claim that it would cease to function as a papal palace and function as a museum. NO evidence found to back that up, and ALL evidence contradicts it. They simply say that the papal apartment would be open to the public as Pope Francis is not using it as a residence. Even the link provided in the paragraph didn't say what the paragraph said and in fact contradicted it. It is still a papal residence with a papal apartment. It is simply that the current pope doesn't use it and has decided to open it up to the public. It is still the official summer residence of the pope, and the next pope could use it if they wish, or Francis could change his mind. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 02:06, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
