Doria Pamphilj Gallery Palace

Local name: Palazzo Galleria Doria Pamphilj

Galleria Doria-Pamphilj is an exhibition of an impressive private art collection gathered by excellent Roman families. The collection consists of about 400 works created between the 15th and 18th centuries. The collection divided into several galleries is presented inside the Rococo palace, which is one of the largest private residences in the Eternal City. Among the most valuable masterpieces of the collection should be mentioned the portrait of Pope Innocent X by brush Diego Velázquez. You can also admire, among others works of Titian, Raffaell, Tintoretto, Caravaggio, Bernini and Flemish masters. Some palace apartments were also made available to visitors, e.g. the Throne Room, Jupiter and the Chapel with the relics of saints.

The construction of the palace began at the beginning of the 16th century. Over the centuries, the building was transformed and expanded by subsequent owners, including Aldobrandinich and Landich, who also contributed to the expansion of the local art collection. The creator of the collection is considered to be Pope Innocent X. Since 1760, the palace belongs to the heirs of the Doria-Pamphilj family, to whom it owes its current name.
