Palazzo Colonna Barberini, National archaeological palace in Palestrina, Italy
The palace incorporates remains of a circular Roman portico and features dual-ring structures integrated into its current architectural layout at multiple levels.
The structure changed ownership from the Colonna family to Carlo Barberini in 1630, when Pope Urban VIII arranged the transfer of the property.
The palace houses the National Museum of Archaeology, displaying numerous artifacts including a colored mosaic depicting scenes along the Nile River.
The public section offers guided tours through archaeological exhibits, while a private wing remains the residence of Prince Benedetto Barberini.
The building stands on the upper terrace of the Fortuna Primigenia sanctuary, featuring a theatrical cavea enhanced by circular porticoes.
