Quirinale Palace (Palazzo del Quirinale) is the official residence of the president of the Italian Republic. In the plaza, relax around Monte Cavallo Fountain, with its two statues of the giants Castor and Pollux. Inside the palace (during the rare times when it's open), take a self-guided tour through some lovely decorated rooms. Catch the changing of the guard if your schedule allows.

The Quirinal Palace (known in Italian as the Palazzo del Quirinale or simply Quirinale) is a historic building in Rome, Italy, one of the three current official residences of the President of the Italian Republic, together with Villa Rosebery in Naples and Tenuta di Castelporziano in Rome. It is located on the Quirinal Hill, the highest of the seven hills of Rome in an area colloquially called Monte Cavallo. It has housed thirty Popes, four Kings of Italy and twelve presidents of the Italian Republic. The Quirinal Palace was selected by Napoleon to be his residence par excellence as Emperor. However his permanence never took place because of the French defeat in 1814 and the subsequent European Restoration. The palace extends for an area of 110,500 square metres and is the ninth-largest palace in the world in terms of area.
