Where is the official residence of the pope?

Answer 1

The official residence of the Pope within the Holy See (Vatican City) is the Apostolic Palace. It is actually a collection of buildings including the Papal Apartments, the Vatican Museums, Library, a number of chapels and government offices.

The summer residence of the Pope is the Pontifical Palace in the Italian city of Castel Gandolfo. It, as well as a number of other properties around Italy, has extraterritorial status and is thus governed by the Holy See. It is worth noting that the property of the summer residence is actually larger than Vatican City itself.

Rome.

The traditional Papal Apartments are sumptuous in the extreme, decorated by the great Raphael, and evidence that for Renaissance popes, money was no object. Pope Francis has chosen not to live there, prefering instead to live in the Vatican's guest house, in an apartment that is still quite comfortable and well suited to the chief executive of a worldwide religious organisation. He has also announced that he will not spend his summer months at Castel Gandolfo, making the palace gardens available for public tours.
