Overview
Discover one of the most enchanting private art collections in Rome, housed inside the Doria Pamphilj Palace on Via del Corso. Built in the 16th century and expanded during the 17th century by Pope Innocent X Pamphilj, the palace became a symbol of power, elegance, and refined taste. As you stroll through its lavish halls, your audio guide will reveal fascinating stories about the artworks and the people behind them — from the great masters of the Italian Renaissance to the personal lives of the Doria Pamphilj family. Admire over 400 works of art displayed in rooms that have preserved their original atmosphere for more than 300 years. Marvel at Velázquez’s powerful portrait of Pope Innocent X, Caravaggio’s Rest on the Flight into Egypt, and masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, and Brueghel. Unlike many museums, the Doria Pamphilj Gallery retains its intimate, family-owned charm — a true journey back in time in the heart of Rome.
