4. THE CHAPEL OF SANTA MARIA DEI BULGARI

In the centre, in the eastern side of the courtyard and in front of the entrance door, is the Chapel of Santa Maria dei Bulgari. Its name reminds that of a church which stood “in curia Bulgari”, that is near the houses of the famous jurist Bulgaro (12th century). It was the chapel of the Studio and it was commissioned by Pier Donato Cesi. More information about the history of the palace:
