Archbishop's Palace, Archbishop residence in Piazza dell'Arcivescovado, Pisa, Italy.

The Archbishop's Palace stands on Piazza dell'Arcivescovo, just past the eastern end of Piazza del Duomo. Its plain but solemn facade contrasts plaster with exposed stone on the corners, window frames and pediments, and a large portal flanked by two columns carries the first-floor terrace. Inside, a broad courtyard holds busts of Pisan archbishops and, at its centre, an 18th-century statue of Moses by Andrea Vaccà.

The palace dates from the 15th century and was built on the remains of a 12th-century building. It stands just past the eastern end of Piazza dei Miracoli, on Piazza dell'Arcivescovado. The sources record no archbishop's name or cloister for its construction.

The courtyard holds busts of Pisa's archbishops and, at its centre, an 18th-century statue of Moses by Andrea Vaccà. On the ground floor, the private chapel has Baroque frescoes by the Melani brothers and a painting of Saint Ranieri before the Virgin by Giovanni Battista Tempesti.

Access to the archives and building requires prior arrangement since it functions as an institutional archive. It is best to check in advance about opening times and access conditions.
