Palaces
Spada Palace (Piazza Capo di Ferro)
An elegant building created by the architect Giulio Mazzoni between 1540 and 1550 for Cardinal Girolamo Capodiferro, it later became the property of Cardinal Bernardino Spada. The stonework of the facade is decorated with flowers, medallions, and statues, while the courtyard with its porticos is ornately decorated in fantastic and mythological figures. To the left is the Spada Gallery, a small gathering of paintings divided into four rooms, with works by Guido Reni, Guercino, Rubens, Giovan Battista Gaulli and an unfinished painting by Tiziano. Today the Palace is used as the State Council Offices. |
