Description
Built between 1480 and 1490 for cardinal Domenico della Rovere by the florentine architect Baccio Pontelli (1450-1492), after the model of Palazzo Venezia, owned by cardinal Barbo. The three storey façade has nine windows per floor, on the first floor are cross windows, on the left hand side is a square tower. Inside is a large courtyard surrounded by octagonal columns. According to Vasari the façade had graffito decorations. The five rooms on the piano nobile, seat of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, have valuable frescoes by Pinturicchio and his school. The building was then modified and only with the restoration of the 1940s and 1950s has it recovered its original renaissance character. In 1655 it became the seat of the Jesuits who were the penitentiaries in the basilica of S. Peter. At the moment it also houses the Hotel Columbus.
