Auf dem höchsten der klassischen sieben Hügel Roms errichtet war der Quirinalspalast drei Jahrhunderte lang die Sommerresidenz der Päpste. 1870 wurde der Palast Sitz der italienischen Könige und nach 1946 Amtssitz des Präsidenten der italienischen Republik.
Am Palazzo del Quirinale oder Quirinalspalast haben bedeutende Künstler mitgewirkt: Domenico Fontana entwarf die Fassade, Carlo Maderno die Kapelle und das Eingangstor, Gian Lorenzo Bernini den langen Seitenflügel des Palasts längs der Via del Quirinale.
Am Sonntag kann man der Wachablöse beiwohnen (im Sommer um 18 Uhr, im Rest des Jahres um 16 Uhr), am Tag vor Neujahr findet auf dem Platz ein Konzert mit klassischer Musik statt.
