The next morning, we went to the Pope's Palace. It was where the Pope stayed when he visited or when the papacy had the Great Schism. We were told about the architecture and the history of the palace, but we were not allow to take pictures of the frescos. They wanted to preserve that for only the Pope's Palace and no place else can have it. The guide told us all the stories and the history, but we found other things more fascinating sometimes than the story. I liked how some of the statues were headless (picture to the bottom left) and that only one part of the courtroom was painted. After the tour, there was a boutique and I have created a habit of buying figurines. They will decorate the entertainment system back home, and later, my desk.
