Farnese Palace

Palace in Rome, Italy, on the Piazza Farnese, one of the finest examples of Roman Renaissance architecture. It was begun on the order of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (later Pope Paul III) in 1517, and was completed under the direction of many architects, including Antonio da Sangallo and Michelangelo. It was inherited by Don Carlos of Bourbon, later Charles III of Spain, and most of its pictures and antique sculpture were removed to Naples. It now houses the French embassy to Italy.
