The Galleria Doria Pamphilj is located in a 18th century palace that is the property of the Doria Pamphilj family. The palace has been restored and gives you a chance to wander through the lavish rooms of the noble family's home. The grand apartment rooms are full of tapestries, ornate furniture, and family portraits. There is a hall of mirrors and paintings stacked to the ceiling that evokes shades of Versailles.

Highlights include works by Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Memling, Rubens, Velazquez, and Brueghel. Velazquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X is particularly impressive, as is Titian's Salome. There is also an interesting collection of sculptures.

The Doria Pamphlij is an art gallery that's located in a small palace. The paintings are densely packed together along the walls of the rooms and include works by famous artists such as Velazquez, Raphael, and Brueghel. Compared to some of the other museums and art galleries, this was not overly busy, making it a more pleasant experience to walk around and look at the paintings at leisure. It also contains a number of paintings from Roelant Savery, one of my favourite painters.
