Palazzo Caprini, Renaissance palazzo in Borgo district, Rome, Italy.

The Palazzo Caprini features five bays across two levels with rusticated stonework on the ground floor and double Doric columns on the upper level.

Architect Donato Bramante designed this palazzo between 1501 and 1510 for Adriano de Caprini, the apostolic protonotary of Viterbo.

The building gained recognition as Raphael's residence from 1517 until his death in 1520, functioning as both his home and studio.

The ground floor contained shops while the upper floor housed residential apartments with large windows and decorative elements.

The palazzo introduced an innovative technique using cast mortar in wooden forms to create the appearance of cut stone, which spread throughout Rome.
