In English a palace is the home of a head of state or other high-ranking public figure. In some countries, such as Italy, the term is also applied to some private mansions.
The word "palace" comes from the name of one of the seven hills of Rome, the Palatine Hill. The original 'palaces' on the Palatine Hill were the seat of the imperial power, while the capitol on the Capitoline Hill was the seat of the senate and the religious nucleus of Rome. Long after the city grew to the seven hills the Palatine remained a desirable residential area. Augustus Caesar lived there in a purposely modest house only set apart from his neighbors by the two laurel trees planted to flank the front door as a sign of triumph granted by the Senate. His descendants, especially Nero, with his "Golden House" enlarged the house and grounds over and over until it took up the hill top. The word Palatium came to mean the residence of the emperor rather than the neighborhood on top of the hill.

A very good question and it has nothing to to with who lives there.In England we have Bishops Palaces,Royal Palaces we have non royal aristocrats such as the dukes of Marlborough living in palaces.I like this question because it has no obvious answer.

Rome is without doubt one the most wonderful towns on the planet; each year an incredible number of tourists come from all over the world to respect the treasures and designs of Roman art and structure and to be one of them you will need to begin with Hotelbye . One of the most famous of Rome's several squares is Piazza Navona. This place preserves the design of the Stadium of Domitian that when stood here. Piazza Navona was builted by Emperor Domitian in 86 AD and has three spectacular fountains.

My house is a palace because I am treated like a princess. It's all in the heart.

a palace is a very large, grand house that is used for the royal family. you can not "make" your house a palace. you can make it look like one though.
