The Santa Marta Residence at the Vatican on March 2013.

The five-story building has 106 suites, 22 single rooms, and one apartment and sits on the edge of Vatican City. It is regularly inhabited by a few dozen priests and bishops who work in the Vatican. Half the rooms are available for cardinals and bishops visiting Rome for audiences or other official occasions. Photo by Eric Vandeville/ABACAPRESS.COM
