Palazzo Margherita, 19th-century embassy building in Via Veneto, Rome, Italy

The Palazzo Margherita features four floors of neoclassical architecture with symmetrical windows, ornate balconies, and a grand entrance portal along Via Veneto.

Architect Gaetano Koch designed the palace in 1890 for Prince Rodolfo Boncompagni Ludovisi before it became the residence of Queen Margherita from 1900 to 1926.

The palace contains the Venus by Giambologna, a marble statue from 1583, marking the only work of this renowned sculptor present in Rome.

The building currently functions as the United States Embassy and remains closed to public interior visits, with exterior viewing permitted from Via Veneto.

Trees within the palace garden are remnants from the historic Villa Ludovisi park, preserving a connection to the area's aristocratic past.
