Best Answer

In the fifth century, Pope Symmachus built a papal palace close to the Old St. Peter's Basilica which served as an alternative residence to the Lateran Palace. The construction of a second fortified palace was sponsored by Pope Eugene III and extensively modified under Pope Innocent III in the twelfth century.Construction of the current version of the palace began on April 30, 1589, under Pope Sixtus V.
