Today, it is most famous as the location of the Quirinal Palace (Palazzo del Quirinale), the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic. The palace complex includes extensive gardens and numerous historic rooms. Visitors can explore parts of the palace and its magnificent gardens, providing insight into Italian state history and offering impressive vistas. The changing of the guard ceremony is also a popular sight.
