The opulent Palazzo showcases the prestigious art collection of the aristocratic Doria Pamphilj family. On your tour, you will admire works by Caravaggio, Bernini, Velazquez, Titian, and Raphael to name a few. Guided by an expert art historian, you will explore lavish halls and ballrooms, long golden galleries, lined with chandeliers and paintings, evocative of Versailles. Walk in the footsteps of popes, princes, and famous historical figures including Pope Innocent X. Learn about the art, the artists, and the family in an opulent setting free from the crowds of the Vatican. Admire masterpieces like Velzquez’s portrait of the family pontiff, Pope Innocent X, and Caravaggio’s paintings.

Highlights of the Doria Pamphilj
This gallery is not busy but it should be. An extraordinary collection, and being able to tour it with Gaia from LivTours made it so much better because she was so knowledgeable about not just the artwork but also the family and the history. This was an amazing tour! Not to be missed in Rome.

It was interesting just to see this gigantic palace. The tour would be best suited for those who are seriously interested in art. Our guide, Bruno, did a great job helping us appreciate this spectacular collection.
Hidden Treasure
