Palazzo Maffei Marescotti

The Palazzo Maffei Marescotti stands at the intersection of Via dei Cestari and Via della Pigna, featuring three floors of baroque architecture.

Architect Giacomo Della Porta designed this palace in 1580 for Cardinal Marcantonio Maffei, requiring the demolition of multiple houses in Piazza della Pigna.

The Palazzo del Vicariato represents the Vatican's presence in Rome as part of the Properties of the Holy See, included in UNESCO World Heritage designation.

Located at coordinates 41.897 latitude and 12.477 longitude, the palace sits adjacent to the Church of the Holy Stigmata of St. Francis.

Count Marescotti commissioned extensive renovations during the 18th century, employing architect Ferdinando Fuga to modify the original unfinished structure.
