The Gothic Palazzo Papale (Papal Palace) was built in the 13th century as a residence for popes looking to get away from the city. In 1271 the palace was the scene of a rebellion. A conclave held here to elect a new pope had been dragging on for months. The people of Viterbo were exasperated by the delay, especially because custom decreed that they had to provide for the cardinals' board and lodging for the duration of the conclave. So they tore the roof off the great hall where the cardinals were meeting, and put them on bread and water. A new pope, Gregory X, was shortly elected. Piazza San Lorenzo, Viterbo, Italy.
