Quirinal Palace, City palace on Quirinal Hill, Rome, Italy
This massive palace spans 110,500 square meters with parallel wings, an internal courtyard, and classical architectural elements designed by multiple Renaissance architects.
The palace transformed from a papal summer residence in 1583 under Pope Gregory XIII to the residence of Italian presidents after the monarchy ended in 1946.
The Presidential residence contains collections of paintings, ancient statues, tapestries, royal carriages, and contemporary art pieces integrated within historical settings since 2019.
The palace opens to visitors through guided tours in specific time slots, allowing access to state rooms, halls, and the four-hectare geometric gardens.
The gardens feature an 18-meter waterfall that connects to a water organ, constructed in the 1990s to revive a historical musical tradition.
