Palazzo dei Convertendi o Delle Congrazioni delle Chiese Orientali

In the beginning the building was in piazza Rusticucci in the Borgo district. Probably built after a project by Bramante (1444-1514), it had a majestic rusticated triple door surmounted by a balcony framed by columns, a work by Baldassarre Peruzzi (1481-1536). Raffaello Sanzio lived and died here in 1520. In the 17th century it was used as a hospice for those who wanted to convert to Catholicism. The building was demolished in 1938 during the demolition for the realization of via della Conciliazione, and was rebuilt almost identical in the present place, with rusticated arched windows on the first floor and a simple frame on the second floor. At the same time a 15th century house was built on via dei Corridori at no. 44, where Raphael workshop was supposed to be. The palazzo dei Convertendi is now the seat of the Congregation of the Oriental Churches.
Note: Closed to the public; the building is visible only from the outside.
