Palazzo del Commendatore

Roma Capitale describes a two-storey façade of eight windows on each floor, an arcaded courtyard with a seventeenth-century fountain, a loggia at piano nobile and the frescoed Salone del Commendatore, which is booked through the ASL. Set in the courtyard is a nineteenth-century six-hour clock whose single hand is shaped like a lizard, framed by an ouroboros and topped by a bronze cardinal's hat. The same page records that the palace holds the old Spezieria, where medicinal herbs were prepared and whose antique jars and mortars survive, and the Accademia Lancisiana with its library, founded in the eighteenth century under Clement XI.
