Palazzo Vescovile, Episcopal palace in Rieti, Italy.
The Palazzo Vescovile stands adjacent to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, featuring a grand two-nave portico and a covered loggia supported by Roman columns.
Construction of the palace took place between 1283 and 1288 under architect Maestro Andrea during the episcopate of Monsignor Pietro Gerra to accommodate papal visits.
The Salone delle Udienze, occupying most of the first floor, houses the Diocesan Museum's art gallery, displaying significant religious artworks from the region.
The ground floor space known as Volte del Vescovado functions as a venue for public exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year.
The palace contains an inscription documenting the 1185 marriage of Costanza d'Altavilla to Enrico VI of Swabia, marking a significant historical union.
