Traveler reviews
Juan Ángel Hernández
★★★★★2 months agoThis palace / gallery is one of the most beautiful places in Rome. It’s not as easily accessible to the public as other sightseeings, but if you can squeeze it in your visit you definitely should. The tickets are not cheap but I believe they are worth it. The art style is mainly baroque. The main gallery was a filming location fon Roman Holiday. The frescos are stunning. Must see.
Marleen Buurma
★★★★★3 months agoWe were truly amazed, so magical and beautiful! I would recommend everyone to go inside. It’s only open on Fridays and Saturdays. There are many beautiful things to see, from paintings to a stunning garden with statues. It is definitely worth the money to go inside. The toilets were cleaned after every visitor, so the hygiene was excellent.
