Palazzo Colonna is the palace of the Colonna family at the foot of the Quirinal Hill, owned by the family for more than twenty generations. Its Baroque Great Hall, the Galleria Colonna commissioned in the mid-17th century by Cardinal Girolamo I Colonna, holds the family's collection of paintings, frescoes and sculpture, and the palace garden climbs the Quirinal.
The Quirinal Palace on the Quirinal Hill is the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic. Pope Gregory XIII began it in 1583 as a papal summer residence, and it later housed the kings of Italy; parts of the palace, including the state rooms and the Pauline Chapel, are shown on booked guided visits.
The Lateran Palace stands beside the Archbasilica of St John Lateran and was the main residence of the popes for about a thousand years, until they moved to the Vatican. The present building was designed by Domenico Fontana in the 1580s; visitors see the papal apartment and a sequence of frescoed halls, among them the Hall of Constantine and the Hall of the Apostles.
