To the left of the Cathedral, accessible via a staircase, the Bishop's Palace of Todi was commissioned in 1593 by Bishop Angelo Cesi and built on the site where the canon’s houses once stood. It was designed as a residence befitting a Renaissance princely patron. The building is arranged over four levels: on the lower floor, at the height of the garden known as the "Bishop’s Orchard," which is now disused, there were kitchens, stables, cellars, and storage rooms. From the central entrance, attributed to Vignola, visitors entered the first floor, which housed the curia, the chancery, and the archives. From this level, a monumental staircase led to the noble floor, which housed the Throne Room, conceived as a place of representation and the apotheosis of episcopal authority, where audiences were held. The room, frescoed by Ferraù da Faenza, displayed the cartouche and portraits of all the pastors who led the Todi church, from Saint Terenziano to Angelo Cesi. On the same noble floor were also the private chapel and the Gallery, frescoed by the painter Andrea Polinori with episodes from the history of Todi. From here, visitors could access the bishop’s private salons, which today house the diocesan library. Finally, the fourth and top floor of the Bishop's Palace was exclusively dedicated to the servants. At the back of the palace, there was an exit for carts and carriages and two "hidden" spiral staircases for the servants' use. A guided tour is highly recommended as the guides are excellent.
