This complex of majestic and impressive architecture dates back as far as the XIII century, but only in the 17th and 18th centuries were the two new facades completed, one facing Piazza SS. Apostoli and the other Via della Pilotta.
Inside, the famous Colonna Gallery contains a prestigious art collection which had been begun as far back as the 16th and 17th centuries and includes works by Bronzino, Tintoretto, Pietro da Cortona, Guercino and Guido Reni.
The gallery itself is a true piece of art, rich with frescoes and its collection of sculptures. Cardinal Girolamo I Colonna began this construction which was continued by his nephew Gran Constabile Lorenzo Onofrio.
Besides the gallery, there are many rooms inside the palace, dedicated to artists and to representatives of the family, that overlook the large internal gardens.
Reserved for particularly important institutional or business events, the palace can accommodate a reception of up to 500 guests. |
