Capella dei Re Magi, Baroque chapel in Colonna, Rome, Italy.
The chapel showcases substantial baroque architectural elements within the Palazzo di Propaganda Fide, featuring intricate decorative patterns and spatial arrangements throughout its interior.
Francesco Borromini reconstructed the chapel between 1662 and 1664, replacing an earlier oval structure designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini within the Palazzo Farattini.
The altar displays the Adoration of the Magi by Giacinto Gimignani from 1634, while the first chapel contains Carlo Pellegrini's Conversion of Saint Paul from 1635.
The chapel maintains its religious function within the Diocese of Rome and remains accessible through the Palazzo di Propaganda Fide complex in central Rome.
A 1955 restoration removed the nineteenth-century false marble decorations, returning the chapel to its original baroque architectural appearance.
