Palazzo Wedekind, Neoclassical palazzo in Piazza Colonna, Rome, Italy.

The facade of Palazzo Wedekind features a grand portico supported by sixteen Ionic columns retrieved from archaeological excavations in Veio and San Paolo.

The building stands on the former site of the Temple of Marcus Aurelius and underwent complete reconstruction in 1838 under Pope Gregory XVI's direction.

The palazzo served as headquarters for the newspaper Il Tempo and later became an important administrative center for the Italian government.

The structure, located at Piazza Colonna 366, now functions as offices for INPS, the Italian National Social Security Institute.

The columns adorning the entrance were salvaged from the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura before its destruction by fire in 1823.
