Dominating Piazza Navona, the Pamphilj Palace (Palazzo Pamphilj) was commissioned in the 17th century by Pope Innocent X, born Giovanni Battista Pamphilj. Renowned artists and architects, such as Borromini and da Cortona, were enlisted to design and decorate the interiors and facade, creating a sumptuous symbol of the family’s power and prestige. This baroque masterpiece features lavish interior halls, courtyards, and galleries, now home to the Brazilian Embassy. Visitors can admire the intricate details and grandeur of the palace, which stands as a testament to Rome’s rich architectural heritage.
