This is the Vatican residence that Pope Leo XIV chose to live in during his pontificate in Rome.

During the second day of the conclave, the College of Cardinals elected 69-year-old American Robert Francis Prevost as the 267th pope of the Catholic Church . The new pontiff took the name Leo XIV.

During the official presentation of Pope Leo XIV on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, he surprised everyone by reusing the papal mozzetta and stole. These traditional elements were abandoned by Francis as a symbol of humility. Pope Francis also settled in the Casa Santa Marta, rejecting the comforts of the papal apartments.

Very few details are known about the Vatican's reorganization with the arrival of a new pontiff, but in his public appearances, he has revived some traditions such as the use of a mozzetta and stole, so it is expected that he will move to the papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace.

The Papal Apartments in the Apostolic Palace have been the official residence of the Supreme Pontiffs since 1870. This complex of apartments has been considered the official residence of the Pope and consists of a group of residences, both private and state, on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace.

Very few details are known about this place. It is said that each apartment consists of 10 rooms, a library that serves as a study and where official visitors are received , a dining room that can accommodate up to 16 people, and a small chapel.

The Apostolic Palace is made up of a series of buildings, including the Sistine Chapel, the Apostolic Libraries, and other buildings . The Pope's apartment is located on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace and has a privileged view of St. Peter's Square.

The papal apartment is said to consist of the main chamber, where the Supreme Pontiff resides, a vestibule, a small study for the papal secretary, the pope's private study, a room dedicated to medical equipment, a dining room, a small living room, and a kitchen.

This building also houses a garden and a service room for the German Benedictine nuns who run the Prefecture of the Papal Household.

It is currently unknown whether Pope Leo XIV will live in the Apostolic Palace or in the Casa Santa Marta residence, where Francis lived from his election until his death. This residence has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small kitchen.
