The original Palazzo is located in the Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, the later extensions have their entrance in Piazza di San Callisto. The entire complex is one of the areas of the Holy See regulated by the 1929 Lateran Treaty signed with the Kingdom of Italy. As such it has extraterritorial status.
The Palazzo San Callisto was named in honour of Pope Callixtus I and is now home to:
The Pontifical Council for the Laity
The Pontifical Council for the Family
Caritas Internationalis
The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace
The International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services
and a number of other Catholic organisations that are part of or directly linked to the Holy See.
In 1990, the Palazzo was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register .
