Inside Pope Francis' Humble Vatican Residence | House Tour 2025 | In Memory

easter Monday 2025 will forever be remembered as the religious holiday that marked the passing of Pope Francis at the age of 88 inside his residence Casa Santa Maria also known as Domis Sanct to Martha or St Martha's house While many Catholics are in mourning and the papal candidates gather to vote on what will be the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church I'll be bringing you some facts about the residence in which Pope Francis lived and sadly passed away this Easter Monday Breaking from the tradition Pope Francis chose not to live in the papal palace inside the Vatican but said stay in St Martha's House where he was living prior to his election in 2013 as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church St Martha's House is a modern guest house built in 1996 right next to St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City Pope Francis chose this simple residence to live in a community with other bishops and cardinals offering modest but comfortable accommodations His room would have been considered a guest house being one of two adjacent fivestory buildings which included 106 mini suites each with a sitting room bedroom and private bathroom The suites include a desk chairs closet and dresser with no TVs and no mini bars Pope Francis lived there from his election in 2013 until his death in 2025 And although modest to say the very least this residence reflects his values of humility and togetherness For those looking for something with a bit more opulence I've also researched the other Vatican properties and vacation getaways popes are accustomed to while serving the top job in the Catholic religion Stay tuned as we walk you through all the details of the illustrious Roman Catholic properties here for you on Famous Entertainment This video is made with the utmost respect for the Pope and Catholics the world's over The information I'm sharing with you is public information I myself am a regular at my local parish each Sunday So if you see me there at St Patrick's be sure to say hi Our prayers to the Pope Now let's get into this video Guys I have an important announcement about this channel There is someone trying to take this channel Famous Entertainment Down and have everything that I've worked so hard on deleted Click the link in the top comment and I'll explain everything at the end of this video So please stay tuned Seeing as I explained in the intro where Pope Francis chose to live during his time as both bishop and pope let's take a look at the location each pope before him chose to live The Appalistic Palace also known as the Papal Palace or the Palace of the Vatican is the official residence of the Pope in Vatican City Construction began in the late 15th century with its current form largely attributed to Pope Sixus the 5th in the late 16th century This palace is vast housing not only the papel apartments but also the Vatican museums the Vatican library the Sistine Chapel the Raphael rooms and offices of the Holy Pope Francis continues to use the abolistic palace for official duties such as audiences and the Sunday angelist prayer but returns to his modest suite for daily life His decision to live at doisene mar has allowed greater public access to the traditional papal apartments and summer residence which are now open to tourists Located on the third or the top floor the papal apartments wrap around the courtyard of six to five The suite includes about 10 rooms a vestibule a private study a bedroom a medical suite a dining room a living room a kitchen and staff quarters There's a private chapel a library with views over St Peter's Square and a roof garden The apartments have been renovated to suit each pope with significant updates after the death of John Paul II and before Benedict moved in Traditionally the Pope would greet crowds from the study window overlooking St Peter's Square Historically Pope spent summers at the Quirinol Palace or more recently the PPP Palace of Castell Gondalfo which is now open to the public since Pope Francis chose not to use it By the way if I pronounce anything wrong don't be mad at me I'm trying here Then we have Pope Francis's choice Dolas San Marte A break from tradition Pope Francis is the first pope in over a century not to reside in the apolistic palace Instead he lives in Doma Santa Mara Santa Marta a guest house adjacent to St Peter's Basilica built in 1996 to house cardinals during conclaves As mentioned these rooms were pretty basic with Pope Francis's personal space described as a simple two room suite known as suite 2011 Each suite included a desk chairs closet and a dresser with no TVs or mini bars There would be many communal areas for food and prayer including a large communal dining room serving meals with an emphasis on wholesome local food Then there's the main chapel dedicated to the Holy Spirit featuring a triangular design symbolizing the Trinity with a glass wall displaying the ancient Leonine wall and mosaics of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit Why the change pope Francis chose this simpler less isolating accommodation to live in community with others including priests bishops and guests visiting the Vatican He values the opportunity for daily interaction and communal living reflecting his pastoral approach and his personal humility too He has a two- room suite which was 2011 as mentioned which had slightly more elegant furnishings and a larger living area for receiving guests He takes his meals in the common dining room and he celebrated mass in the main chapel of the residence with Vatican employees and guests Finally let's consider the symbolism The papel apartments represent power tradition and history Pope Francis's choice of doma sanctang symbolizes humility simplicity and community Well we know that's what Pope Francis was all about Pope Francis's decision to live in these apartments is more than a personal preference It's a powerful statement about leadership humility and the role of the papacy in the modern world By choosing a simpler more communal lifestyle he set a new tone for the Catholic Church and he made the Vatican's grandest spaces more accessible to the world It was said he's experimenting with this type of living arrangement which is simple but allows him to live in community with others That's what a Vatican spokesman said before Pope Francis's home is a reflection of his values humility simplicity and a desire to be close to people While the opalistic palace remains a symbol of papal tradition in history the modest suite at dois sanct is where Pope Francis truly felt at home This is where he lived out his message every day The late Pope Francis's unique approach to paple living invites us to rethink what it means to be at home even at the heart of one of the world's most storied institutions What do you think of Pope Francis's choice and who do you think is going to be the next pope let us know in the comments below Rest in peace to Pope Francis
