The Palazzo Spada is a palace in Rome that houses a grand art collection, the Galleria Spada. Originall built in 1540 Bartolomeo Baronino was he architect for the project. Then in 1632 Cardinal Spada purchased the fine palace and commissioned Francesco Borromini to modify it for him. It was Borromini who created te masterpiece that is the courtyard. At Francesco Borromini's 1653 perspective gallery, a link between two coutryards at the Palazzo Spada in Rome, the floor rises and the columns become smaller as one passes through, creating the optical illusion of a much longer structure.
