The Palazzo del Collegio de Propaganda Fide, also known as the Palace of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, is a significant architectural landmark in Rome, Italy. This historic building serves as the headquarters for the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, a department of the Roman Curia responsible for missionary work and related activities. The palazzo is situated in the heart of Rome, near the Spanish Steps, and is renowned for its architectural and historical importance.

The initial design of the Palazzo del Collegio de Propaganda Fide was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII in the early 17th century. The project was first entrusted to the architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who began the construction in 1626. Bernini's design featured a Baroque style, characterized by dynamic forms and dramatic contrasts. However, the project underwent significant changes when Pope Innocent X succeeded Urban VIII. The new pope appointed Francesco Borromini to continue the work, leading to a notable shift in the architectural style.

Borromini, a contemporary and rival of Bernini, brought his unique vision to the palazzo. He redesigned the façade and interior spaces, infusing them with his distinctive approach to Baroque architecture. Borromini's work on the Palazzo del Collegio de Propaganda Fide is particularly admired for its innovative use of space and light, as well as its intricate detailing. The façade, completed in 1667, is a testament to Borromini's genius, featuring undulating lines and a harmonious blend of concave and convex forms.

The palazzo also houses the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, which Borromini designed as part of the complex. The church's elliptical plan and dynamic interior further exemplify Borromini's architectural prowess. Today, the Palazzo del Collegio de Propaganda Fide stands as a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, reflecting the artistic and religious fervor of its time. It continues to serve its original purpose, playing a vital role in the Catholic Church's missionary activities worldwide.
