Scuderie del Quirinale, or the Quirinalese Stables, is an 18th-century building that is part of the extensive palace complex on the Kwirynał hill. It plays the role of one of the most important European showrooms with an exhibition space of 1500 m². In 1999, as part of the first exhibition organized in a thoroughly renovated building, 100 works of art from the collection of the St. Petersburg Hermitage were presented. Exhibited here also include masterpieces by Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Botticelli, Titian, Rembrandt and Velázquez. A special mobile application allows Stables visitors to access multimedia content, including audioguides to current exhibitions.
Stables were built in 1722-1732 on the ruins of the ancient temple of Serapis from the 3rd century. Alessandro Specchi and Ferdinando Fuga worked on the design of the building. The construction was commissioned by Pope Innocent XIII, but the works were completed only during the pontificate of Clement XII. Papal Stables were used according to their original purpose until 1938.
The Quirinal Stables offer magnificent panoramas of the Eternal City.
