Prati, Residential district near Vatican City, Rome, Italy.
The Prati district features wide geometric streets lined with early 20th-century buildings characterized by turrets, balconies, and decorative architectural details.
In 1921, Prati became Rome's twenty-second rione, transforming from agricultural fields into a planned residential area for Kingdom of Italy civil servants.
The Palace of Justice, known as Palazzaccio, stands as the district's primary landmark, serving as Italy's Supreme Court with notable sculptural decorations.
Via Cola di Rienzo functions as the main commercial street, connecting multiple shopping venues with the Lepanto and Ottaviano metro stations.
The district's street layout was designed to prevent views of St Peter's Basilica dome due to tensions between the Italian Kingdom and Vatican.
