Overview of your Rome tour

The Doria Pamphilj Gallery is one of the most beautiful noble residences in Rome. The palace is full of history and its baroque architecture, not always apparent to independent travelers. We'll visit the special interior gallery, one of the largest art collections in Rome, a family-owned private collection specifically, with masterworks from Italian artists like: Raffaello, Tiziano, and Caravaggio, the family chapel, red and yellow rooms, and the main painting gallery. We'll have a peaceful break in the charming and historical Caffé Doria for a coffee or a fruit juice, then we'll continue to the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, considered one of the finest examples of Roman baroque architecture and to St. Louis des Français to admire again Caravaggio.
