Galleria Doria Pamphilj

Galleria Doria Pamphilj is an art museum in central Rome and displays paintings and sculptures inside a Renaissance palace with internal courtyards and classical elements. The halls extend across several floors and connect richly decorated galleries with private family living quarters.

The palace originated from Cardinal Fazio Santoro's residence in the early 16th century and was extensively remodeled between 1731 and 1734 by Prince Camillo Pamphilj junior. The galleries took their present shape through successive expansions by different noble families.

The painting collection shows works by European masters in halls where walls are densely hung with frames and ceilings are decorated with frescoes. Visitors see the rooms as a noble family once displayed their art, surrounded by original furniture and mirrors.

The museum sits near Via del Corso and opens Monday through Thursday from 9 to 19 and Friday through Sunday from 10 to 20. Wheelchair access is limited since several areas are reached by stairs.

The Velázquez Cabinet holds the 1650 portrait of Pope Innocent X, which the Spanish painter created during his stay in Rome. The painting shows the pope in intense red tones and is considered an outstanding example of Baroque portraiture.
