Rating: 8,2/10 (9596 votes) The Fernese Palace is one of the finest examples of the Renaissance style. For over 100 years, the building houses the French Embassy. The construction of the castle until 1546 was carried out by Antonio da Sangallo. He built a three-story building, where through the main entrance, located in the center, a panoramic view of the courtyard opened, and from there to the Tiber through an arcade of loggias. It was also planned to build a bridge connecting the castle with the Villa Farnezinka, located on the opposite bank. In 1546, Michelangelo took up the construction of the castle, who made a number of changes, adding a large protruding cornice to the facade, giving the building monumentality and completeness. Vignola was responsible for the facade on the Via Giulia side. We also recommend reading St. Peter's Basilica in Italy, Rome resort Topic: Palace of the Farnese in Italy, Rome resort. |
