DESCRIZIONE:
Erected around 1480 for Cardinal Domenico della Rovere, probably by Baccio Pontelli, it owes its name to those confessors with special powers of absolution brought here by Alexander VII in the middle of the 1600s. The building follows the model of the 1400s of Palazzo Venezia, with the tower on the left, the guelfan-cross windows and a courtyard on two levels with a well at the center. The interior, not open for visits, has frescoes from the 1500s and on the Soffitto dei Semidei (the ceiling) are paintings by Pinturicchio in 1490.
Today, the building is home to the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.
