Palazzo Della Rovere, Renaissance palace near Vatican City, Rome, Italy

The palace features a grand façade with Guelph cross windows and a quadrangular tower at its northeast corner facing Via della Conciliazione.

Cardinal Domenico della Rovere commissioned the construction of this palace between 1480 and 1490, with Florentine architect Baccio Pontelli directing the project.

The interior contains frescoes by Pinturicchio and his school, including mythological figures in the Hall of the Demigods painted around 1490.

The palace currently serves as headquarters for the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and requires advance booking for group visits.

Archaeological excavations in 2023 revealed remnants of Emperor Nero's theater beneath the palace courtyard and gardens.
