Palazzo dei Marescialli, Rationalist palace in Castro Pretorio district, Rome, Italy
The Palazzo dei Marescialli is a rationalist administrative building located on Piazza dell'Indipendenza, featuring clean geometric lines and functional architecture. The structure spans multiple stories with facades that emphasize symmetry and ordered design principles.
The building was constructed between 1879 and 1881 as an administrative palace and underwent substantial expansion in the 1920s. Later renovations in the late 1930s refined its current form and structural character.
Since 1962, the building has served as home to the High Council of the Judiciary, Italy's principal body overseeing judges and magistrates. The space shapes how visitors and staff move through the piazza and interact with this important civic institution.
The building is accessible during weekdays but requires prior authorization due to its governmental role. Visitors should plan according to standard office hours and contact the administration in advance.
In 2024, the palace was renamed Palazzo Bachelet to honor an Italian statesman and acknowledge its significance in the judiciary. This renaming marks a formal recognition of the building's evolving institutional importance.
