Built on the original nucleus of the residence of Cardinal Fazio Santoro dated to the early 16th century, the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is a rich concentration of art and history. The grandiose residence is the result of evolutions, annexations, and enlargements over five hundred years.
Visitors will be able to enjoy an exclusive approach to the collection in an atmosphere similar to that which guests breathed in the second half of the 1700s. The tour opens in the large reception rooms, richly furnished and magnificently decorated. We'll see the heart of the exhibition in the Four Arms of the Gallery, overlooking Bramante's internal courtyard with its splendid Renaissance arches. Continuing on to two large adjacent rooms, the Sala Aldobrandini and the Sala dei Primitivi, we'll see masterpieces of the private collection of the Doria Pamphilj family.
