Palazzo Núñez-Torlonia

Palazzo Núñez-Torlonia is a 17th-century palace on Via Condotti featuring a uniform facade with symmetrically arranged windows across multiple floors. The building stands at the corner of two significant streets and maintains its original architectural structure from that period.

The building was constructed in 1660 by architect Giovanni Antonio De Rossi for Marquis Francisco Núñez-Sánchez. After its creation, the palace later served as a residence for members of the Torlonia family, who gave it their name.

Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi created elaborate frescoes between 1660 and 1670, depicting religious scenes that adorn rooms on the first and third floors.

The building sits on Via Condotti in a central part of the city and is visible from the street. The palace remains partly a private residence, so access from outside is limited.

A Roman sarcophagus with lion paws serves as a fountain before the palace and displays the family coat of arms. Water flows from a mask opening into a basin below.
