Villa dei Papi, Neo-Gothic villa in Pacevecchia, Italy
Villa dei Papi features ornate architectural elements and stands on the remains of the Santa Maria della Pace Convent in Benevento's Pacevecchia district.
Archbishop Vincenzo Maria Orsini, who later became Pope Benedict XIII, commissioned the construction of Villa dei Papi in 1696 following the earthquake of 1688.
The villa served as a residence for Pope Benedict XIII during his visits to Benevento and later transformed into the headquarters of Banca Sannitica.
The Municipality and Province of Benevento acquired the property in 2001, restoring both the building and its surrounding forest for conferences and events.
The villa currently houses MARSec, the Mediterranean Agency for Remote Sensing and Environmental Control, which monitors satellite data in Campania.
