The heavy stone work of the exterior on the Via Del Corso belies the sense of space and light inside the Palazzo's galleries. The highlights of the collection include Caravaggio's 'Rest on the Flight into Egypt', The Portrait of Pope Innocent X by Velazquez, several works by Titian and a clutch of superb Dutch landscapes. But the real star of... More

On Saturday mornings at 11 am, there is a guided tour of the Palazzo complete with a very talented trio playing music to match the different eras of the paintings in various galleries. At the end of the 1-hour tour, we were taken to the Throne Room for a special concert by the trio just for us. You can then... More

spent our last morning here and glad we did. very few visitors (around 10.00) allowing for a leisurely stroll around the house and private art collection. wonderful selection of Breugel paintings that you can get right up to (no security or glass protection etc) and really study. also a fantastic Velasquez. preferred this to the sistine chapel which was packed...

This gorgeous art collection housed in the privately owned and sumptuous Palazzo Doria Pamphilj contains a remarkable gathering of paintings, furniture and statuary lovingly assembled since the 16th century. Especially impressive is the Velasquez's striking portrait of Pope Innocent the Tenth -Cardinal Pamphilj, a cunning looking old fox !. Bernini, Caravaggio, Lorrain, Raphael and Titian are some of the other... More

When we visited we virtually had the place to ourselves at 13:00 on a Wed. The free audio guide was really helpful and actually had some personality, unlike the cold and boring audio guides at most other attractions. Very ornate and well kept, there are so many great art pieces to enjoy by many of the most well known and... More

Here some names of the painters you can finde there: Michelangelo Merisi (Caravaggio), Tiziano Vecellio,... More

Actually it is museum that has a display of paintings and furniture. The collection includes famous works as VELAZQUEZ'S and RAPAHAEL'S portraits, TIZIANO , MICHAELANGELO and... More

We hadn't anticipated just how interesting this museum would be based on the comments in guide books. In fact, I would say it is better than Galleria Borghesi. The audioguide is, for once, very good and helpful with anecdotes added by the narrator who is a family member. The Palazzo itself is beautiful, if rather over the top and there... More
