Rome: City of Popes


Papal Coats of Arms: 1417 to the Present


The coats of arms of the popes who ruled the Eternal City for centuries
can be seen on buildings and monuments throughout Rome.

A papal coat of arms is easily identifiable, as the shield will be surmounted
​by the triregnum (triple tiara or triple crown)* and a pair of crossed keys. 

*In 2005, Pope Benedict XIV elected to have a mitre instead of a triregnum
​and this practise was adopted by his successor, Pope Francis.
