Palazzo Papale

            Uno dei monumenti più interessanti di Viterbo è il Palazzo Papale costruito tra il 1255 e il 1267, si affaccia su piazza San Lorenzo.

Classico esempio del gotico medievale, il palazzo papale è caratterizzato dalla loggia a sette archi ogivali (aggiunta all’ultimo momento da Andrea Gatti) insieme alla scalinata, ed ospitò per quasi tutto il ‘300 numerosi papi.

Nel 1268 iniziò il Conclave in cui venne eletto Papa Gregorio X. Famosa è la storia secondo la quale il capitano del popolo, Raniero Gatti, esasperato dalla lentezza dei lavori del Conclave (durò 33 mesi, fino al 1271), fece scoperchiare il palazzo e limitò i viveri ai cardinali riuniti, per costringerli a prendere una decisione.

Da qui venne emanata la scomunica contro Corradino di Svevia, colpevole di voler riconquistare Napoli, affidata a Carlo d’Angiò da Papa Clemente IV.
