Palazzo della Cancelleria
Palazzo della Cancelleria, Renaissance palace in Ponte district, Rome, Italy.
The palace features a travertine facade adorned with paired pilasters, arch-headed windows, and stands at a height of 25 meters.
Cardinal Raffaele Riario initiated the construction in 1489, which concluded in 1513, before Pope Leo X seized the property in 1517.
The Salone d'Onore contains extensive frescoes painted by Giorgio Vasari depicting events from Pope Paul III's papacy in 100 days.
The palace maintains its function as the Papal Chancellery while operating as an extraterritorial property of the Holy See in Rome.
The building materials include travertine stones from the ancient Theatre of Pompey, with original columns still present in the courtyard.
