Lonely Planet review for Palazzo della Cancelleria

Once seat of the Papal Chancellery and now home to the Vatican’s highest appeals court, this huge Renaissance palazzo was built for Cardinal Raffaele Riario between 1483 and 1513. It’s generally closed to the public but you can usually nip through to the courtyard to take a peek at Bramante’s glorious double loggia. Next door, and incorporated into the palazzo, is the 4th-century Basilica di San Lorenzo in Damaso, one of Rome’s oldest Christian churches.
