Palazzo Altoviti, Renaissance palace in Lungotevere degli Altoviti, Rome, Italy.

Located at the end of Ponte Sant'Angelo, the palace featured ornate decorations and provided views across the Tiber River from its strategic position.

Built in 1514 under Bindo Altoviti's direction, the palace stood until 1888 when it was demolished during the construction of new riverbanks along the Tiber.

The palace contained artistic works by Giorgio Vasari and housed a notable bust of Bindo Altoviti created by sculptor Benvenuto Cellini in the sixteenth century.

Several workshops operated alongside the palace, which connected directly to the riverbank through a designated portal leading to Villa Altoviti across the water.

The celebrated archaeologist Ennio Quirino Visconti was born within the walls of Palazzo Altoviti in 1751, adding to its historical significance.
