The first palace dates back to the XV century but it was Giovanni de’ Medici, the future Pope Leo X, who transformed it into a rich residence.
In the XVIII century it was the seat of various papal offices and since 1871 it became the seat of the Italian Senate.
The Senate chamber was built in the courtyard of the old papal post office.
Extensive art collections and a valuable library still belong to the palace.
