Palazzo del Viminale

The Palazzo del Viminale is a monumental early-twentieth-century building on the Viminal Hill that serves as the headquarters of the Italian Ministry of the Interior. Completed in 1925, its vast symmetrical facade and grand internal courtyards embody the official architecture of the era. The name Viminale has become shorthand for the interior ministry itself in Italian political discourse. The building coordinates national security and civil administration, and though closed to tourists, its imposing bulk is a well-known city landmark.
