Piazza Capranica, is located in the Colonna district, a stone’s throw from the Pantheon; it is an 11th century building and is one of the few surviving examples belonging to the pre-Renaissance era. Its name derives from the palace built in 1451 by Cardinal Domenico Capranica to house the College for the education of ecclesiastics. After his death, his brother Cardinal Angelo wanted to create the family residence here and so he built the building with the tower at the corner with the current Via del Collegio Capranica, to which he assigned the college (inaugurated in 1478), reserving the oldest part of the family. Thus there were two marble portals with architrave: the one under the tower has the inscription “COLLEGIUM CAPRANICENSE” and five abraded coats of arms, while the other, the one on the right and entrance of the original building, has chiseled coats of arms: in the center that of Pope Nicholas V, the other of the Roman people and we read the date 1451. The portal also has the inscription “TEATRO CAPRANICA”, as it was once also the entrance to the ancient theater inaugurated in 1679, and transformed into followed, in 2005, in the congress center where it also hosts operas and concerts.
