The Palace of the Popes in Anagni, sometimes called the Boniface VIII Palace (Palazzo Bonifacio VIII), is a building in the ancient hill town of Anagni in central Italy, in the hills east-southeast of Rome. It is closely associated in history with Pope Boniface VIII, was later bought by his nephew Peter II Caetani, and now houses a museum named after the Pope. It is at present part of a property owned by the Cistercian Sisters of Charity and used in part as their motherhouse. In 1950 the archeologist Giuseppe Marchetti Longhi created a permanent exhibition on the site about Pope Boniface VIII and the first great Christian Jubilee of 1350. From these beginnings the exhibition gradually grew after 1953 with additional archeological finds, plaster casts, photographs, maps and historical documentation and was given the name Museo bonifaciano e del Lazio meridionale (Boniface Museum of Southern Lazio). It was the first public museum in Anagni. In the decade after the year 2000, it was reorganized to become a distinct section within a larger museum of the Anagni Palace of the Popes. This latter was designed to more clearly highlight the architectural structure of the building, its historical importance, and consistent religious character through the centuries by organizing an interesting route for those visiting the complex. Apart from the inherent historical significance of the older rooms, a certain number of collections are included which are linked to episodes that occurred throughout the centuries.
