Barberini Palace was begun by Carlo Maderno in 1627, but was completed by Bernini, with the help of Borromini. The central block is by Bernini, but some small windows and the coat of arms are by Borromini. The decoration has several references to the heraldic symbols of the Barberini: the bees and the sun. Inside the building there is the “Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica”, a beatiful Gallery with masterpieces of Raffaello, Caravaggio, Bernini, and many others.
