Why do we say "largest Gothic palace"? The Palace of the Popes is actually the largest of the Gothic constructions of the Middle Ages. It is impressive with its 60 meter long facade. including the courtyards and gardens, its surface area is 15000 square meters, or 2 football pitches! 📸©️ D. Coullet / P.
