The Palazzo Barberini on Piazza Barberini in Rome was designed by Carlo Maderno, Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII, bought the site in 1625, and his nephews Francesco and Taddeo lived there. The infobox gives construction from 1625 to 1633, while the text says Maderno began in 1627 and Bernini completed the works in 1633.
The article calls the style Baroque and gives no materials or dimensions. Pope Innocent X confiscated the palace after the Wars of Castro, and it returned to the Barberini in 1653. It stands in the Rione Trevi.
The European Convention on Human Rights was signed there on November 4, 1950. It houses the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica. The article gives no visiting hours or ticket details.
