Palazzo Cesi, Renaissance palazzo near St Peter's Square, Rome, Italy.
The palace features an internal cloister-shaped courtyard that preserves traces of the ancient Via Cornelia pavement and includes a grand staircase.
Cardinal Francesco Armellini commissioned the construction of this palace at the beginning of the 16th century on the site where philosopher Seneca's house stood.
The first floor gallery contains 17th-century frescoes depicting King Solomon's life, created by artists from Pietro da Cortona's school.
