Pope Francis turned a 19th-century Italian palace, into a house for the poor and the homeless.
The Palazzo Migliori, named after the family who donated the palace to the Church.
The first plans were to transform the palace into a luxury hotel, which would have been a big touristic place as it's right next to Saint Peter's Square.
The other option was to transform the sixteen bedroom palace into a shelter for 50 homeless or poor men and women.
They'll be able to "sleep, eat and learn."
“We should be worried when our consciences are anaesthetised and we no longer see the brother or sister suffering at our side, or notice the grave problems in the world, which become a mere refrain familiar from the headlines on the evening news.", Pope Francis.
