Archbishop's Palace, Archbishop's residence in Siena, Italy.

The Archbishop's Palace stretches across three floors next to Siena Cathedral, featuring white and black marble stonework on its ground level facade.

The palace underwent major changes in the 1660s when Pope Alexander VII ordered the demolition of the old bishop's residence and expanded the current structure.

The interior halls display an extensive collection of portraits depicting Sienese bishops and popes who influenced the religious development of the region.

The building functions as the administrative headquarters and residence for the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d'Elsa-Montalcino.

The palace windows exhibit an unconventional design where the openings on one side do not align with those on the opposite facade.
