Palace of the Popes in Anagni

The Palace of the Popes in Anagni, sometimes called the Boniface VIII Palace (Palazzo Bonifacio VIII), is a building in the ancient hill town of Anagni in central Italy, in the hills east-southeast of Rome. It is closely associated in history with Pope Boniface VIII, was later bought by his nephew Peter II Caetani, and now houses a museum named after the Pope. It is at present part of a property owned by the Cistercian Sisters of Charity and used in part as their motherhouse.
