Popes

The Pope is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. So far there have been 265 of them (since the first century AD).

P.S.: we're not going to include all sites ever visited by a pope - just those that are strongly linked to one or all of them

The connection belongs to History connections.

Connected Sites

  • Avignon: From 1309 to 1377, the pope resided not in Rome but in Avignon (Palais des Papes)
  • Pienza: Was named after and redesigned by Pope Pius II (Pope between 19 August 1458 - 15 August 1464)
  • Rome: Rome with Holy See's exterritorial rights
  • Vatican City: The Holy See has been the residence of popes since early Christian times

Suggestions?

Do you know of another WHS we could connect to Popes?

Send it to me!

A connection should:

  1. Not be "self evident"
  2. Link at least 3 different sites
  3. Not duplicate or merely subdivide the "Category" assignment already identified on this site.
  4. Add some knowledge or insight (whether significant or trivial!) about WHS for the users of this site
  5. Be explained, with reference to a source
