Palazzo della Zecca vecchia, Renaissance palazzo in Rome, Italy

The Palazzo della Zecca vecchia stands with two floors and features architectural elements characteristic of 16th-century Roman design principles and techniques.

Constructed between 1504 and the early 16th century, the building functioned as a papal mint for producing silver coins until its relocation in 1541.

The structure bears a commemorative plaque installed in 1907 honoring Benvenuto Cellini, who worked within these walls during the mint's operation.

The palazzo maintains its position in central Rome at coordinates 41.899959 latitude and 12.466658 longitude, currently under UniCredit ownership.

Architects Donato Bramante and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger collaborated on designing this building, which later housed the Banco di Santo Spirito.
