Palazzo Cesi Armellini, Renaissance palazzo in Borgo district, Rome, Italy
The three-story brick building features a monumental marble portal with Doric pillars and the Cesi family coat of arms on Via della Conciliazione.
Cardinal Francesco Armellini commissioned the palace construction between 1517 and 1520, with architect Martino Longhi the Elder later redesigning it for the Cesi family.
The palace housed the Accademia dei Lincei in 1618, an early scientific institution founded by Federico Cesi that promoted empirical research methods.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Salvatorian religious order and contains multiple chapels, a library, and administrative offices.
During World War II, Father Pancrazio Pfeiffer used the palace as a shelter to protect Jews, politicians, and resistance members from German persecution.
