Gallery Doria Pamphilj

The Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is a beautiful Palazzo located in central Rome and is the location of the Doria Pamphilj Gallery. The building itself dates to around 1453 with various expansions happening from 1601 and 1647. The gallery charges an admission to gain access to over 400 paintings from the 15th to the 18th centuries. Among some of the art in the gallery you will find earlier Carravagio paintings such as Rest During the Flight into Egypt. Also inside the gallery is the private apartment that was once used by the family and it still contains furnishings and art that were originals during the periods when the family lived there. Outside the gallery is the Piazza del Collegio Romano, which is where we have class at everyday, right next to this gallery. The gallery itself was noted as one of Rome’s best galleries by DK’s Eyewitness Guide: Rome 2008. This is a must visit for anyone spending any time in Rome. The gallery is open 10am-5pm Monday-Wednesday.
