Palazzo Farnese, Renaissance palace in Regola district, Rome, Italy.
The Palazzo Farnese extends over three floors with symmetrical windows, a central portal, and a stone facade measuring 29 meters in height.
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger initiated construction in 1515, followed by Michelangelo who added the upper floor and cornice after 1546.
The Galleria Farnese contains a collection of frescoes painted by Annibale Carracci between 1597 and 1608, depicting mythological scenes.
