Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne, Renaissance palace in Rome, Italy

The palace features a curved facade with six Doric columns, two interior courtyards, and decorative elements throughout its architectural composition.

Architect Baldassare Peruzzi designed the palace between 1532 and 1536 after fire destroyed previous structures during the 1527 Sack of Rome.

The palace interior displays ceiling frescoes by Daniele da Volterra depicting the life of Fabio Massimo, an ancient Roman commander.

The palace opens to visitors only on March 16 each year, allowing access to the family chapel located on the second floor.

The curved facade follows the foundation lines of Emperor Domitian's odeon, creating an illusion of larger dimensions than the actual building.
