Yeah, I get that. The Lateran Palace has this weird vibe, doesn't it? It's like the rest of Rome is a roaring party, and that place is a secret, dusty library in the back. That hidden section... I've felt it too. It's not just quiet; it feels…absorbed. Like the stone itself swallowed the sound. I've read some stuff suggesting it might have been used for more...private papal affairs over the centuries.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some truly untold stories tucked away in those walls. Spooky place.

Maybe even a small part of some long-forgotten building or structure. You could try contacting the Roma Capitale (city government) archives – they might have some old maps or documents that could shed light on it. Or maybe even the local historical society. Good luck with your search; let us know what you find out!
