The Palazzo della Cancelleria Apostolica, or simply the Cancelleria, is the modern name for the splendid renaissance Palazzo Raffaele Riario that runs the full length of the western side of the broad Piazza della Cancelleria, halfway between the southern end of Piazza Navonna and the northern corner of Camp di Fiori, in the Camp Marzio.
For many years, guidebooks of Rome had the simple comment "not accessible" at the beginning of their descriptions -- it had never been open to the public since it was built -- but that is no longer true.
The Palazzo was built sometime between 1471 and 1484 for Cardinal Raffaele Riario, the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV who reigned during that period, but, unlike many other Roman Palazzi built by papal nephews, it was not build with church funds.
