The Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna is a majestic 17th-century residence located in the heart of the town of Carpegna, in the Marche region. The construction of the palace began in 1674 at the behest of Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna, who wanted a more modern and comfortable residence than the old fortified fortress.

In the center of the town stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio De' Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna. The palace, begun in 1675 and completed after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florentine origin and the large noble residences of the Roman countryside. It is still inhabited by the descendants of the thousand-year-old family and has remained almost intact after over 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquakes (1781).
