      The palazzo built by Bernini gave the square its name. Expanded to Parliament in 1920. Strictly guarded, you can only get in with permission and therefore the beautiful parliament hall is not all open.

        Palazzo Montecitorio is a historic building in Rome, home to the Italian Chamber of Deputies. The building was originally designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for the Ludovisi family, but was later modified by Carlo Fontana and Ernesto Basile. The building has a concave facade with three portals, a dome with a spiral lantern and a flaming crown. In front of the building is an ancient Egyptian obelisk, which served as a sundial.
