Still owned and lived in by the Doria Pamphilj family, this is one of Rome's greatest private art collections — Velázquez, Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian. Displayed in gilded rooms exactly as they were four centuries ago. The audio guide narrated by a family member adds a layer of intimacy no public museum can replicate.
Our take
“Do not skip the audio guide — it's narrated by a Doria Pamphilj family member and gives the collection a personal dimension no label can. The Velázquez portrait of Innocent X is alone worth the visit.”
