The Quirinal Palace (known in Italian as the Palazzo del Quirinale or simply Quirinale) is a historic building in Rome, Italy, one of the three current official residences of the President of the Italian Republic, together with Villa Rosebery in Naples and Tenuta di Castelporziano in Rome. It is located on the Quirinal Hill, the highest of the seven hills of Rome. It has housed thirty Popes, four Kings of Italy and twelve presidents of the Italian Republic. The palace extends for an area of 110,500 square metres and is the ninth-largest palace in the world in terms of area.

On the left, there is a fountain with the 14-meter-tall (46ft) obelisk once held a place of honor at the entrance to the mausoleum of Augustus. On the sides of the obelisk, there are the statues of the two Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux), as horse tamers. These statues - Roman replicas of Greek originals from the fifth century BC - once stood at the entrance of the baths of Constantine. According to legend, they fought aside of the Romans in the battle of Lake Regillus and carried the news of victory to Rome.
