Palazzo Montecitorio, Parliament building in Rome, Italy

The Palazzo Montecitorio presents a curved baroque facade with a central bell tower and four red-brick towers on its corners.

Construction began under Pope Innocent X with Bernini's design in 1650, but halted after his death until Carlo Fontana completed it in 1696.

The palace houses significant artworks, including Flemish tapestries and a bronze Roman wolf sculpture in the Hall of the She-wolf.

The Chamber of Deputies conducts legislative sessions in the main hall, which features a colored glass ceiling and bronze decorative elements.

The Montecitorio Obelisk, originally part of the ancient Roman solar clock, stands in the square facing the palace entrance.
