Palazzo delle Papesse, one of the most impressive in humanistic Siena, is a symbol of the dynastic politics of Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Pope Pius II, who rose to the papal throne in 1458. As the name testifies, the ancient residence was intended for his sister Caterina, who, starting from 1460, followed the construction works of the building in via di Città with determination. The design of the palace was reported to Bernardo Rossellino, the architect from Pienza, but also to Antonio Federighi, a Sienese master. The Palace, which also hosted the scientist Galileo Galilei who observed the moon from here, is now owned by Opera Laboratori.
