Where does Pope Benedict live?
The Popes, including the present Pope (in 2014), Pope Francis, have lived in the Vatican for most of the last 1,700 years, and in the city of Rome for nearly the entire 2,000 year existence of the Church. Vatican City, or the Vatican, is an independent city state within the Italian capital city of Rome. It is an independent "nation" with its own civil service [the Curia], police force and even its own "army" - the Swiss Guard. During the summer, for the past several centuries they have gone to Castle Gondolfo to escape the oppressive summer heat in Rome. The pope resides in the Papal Apartments of the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican. It is, in actuality, quite a modest dwelling. However, our new pope, Francis, has decided to forego the Papal Apartments and is living in a small apartment in Casa Santa Marta, a sort of guest hostel in the Vatican.
