Acquario Romano, Architectural exhibition venue in Rome, Italy.
The Acquario Romano features a circular design with marine-themed decorations, aediculas, and medallions placed between caryatids along its exterior walls.
Constructed between 1885 and 1887 under architect Ettore Bernich's direction, the building initially functioned as an aquarium before becoming a theater depot.
The structure now houses Casa dell'Architettura, serving as a center for architectural exhibitions, performances, and cultural events in the heart of Rome.
Located in Piazza Manfredo Fanti, the building maintains regular opening hours for exhibitions and provides space for professional architectural gatherings.
The cylindrical structure incorporates lesenes and pilasters throughout its design, representing a notable example of late 19th-century Umbertino architectural style.
