Palazzo Altieri stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Roman Baroque architecture, showcasing sumptuous interiors adorned with gilded embellishments and intricately decorated halls. Originally built as a lavish residence for the Altieri family, one of the most influential noble families in Rome, the palace reached its pinnacle of magnificence during the papacy of Pope Clement X, himself a member of the Altieri dynasty.
