The present Doria Pamphilj Palace was inherited by Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini in 1601. When he died, his niece Olympia Aldobrandini inherited it as she was his only heir.

As other reviewers have said, this palazzo does not attract the huge crowds of the 'honeypot' sights in Rome but this only makes it more pleasurable to visit. Over 600 works of art are owned by the family, including paintings by Caravaggio, Titian and Velazquez. The audio guide narrated by family members is informative and entertaining and allows you to...

The audio guide which is included with the admission fee is a must! The art collection is amazing, and the palazzo is exceedingly fine. There is a tea room/ cafe' as you enter that looked lovely, and not too pricey.

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
