★★★★★a week agoQuintessential baroque architecture, trompe de l’oeil from Borromini, also Small collection of great baroque and renaissance painters, few big names (Titian) but other essential contributors like the famous Artemisia Gentileschi. Perspectives work throughout well.

★★★★★3 years agoIt’s not my first time to visit the place but what keeps me coming back is their Small yet impressive collections of statues and paintings. Too bad, the room is still close where you can find Caravaggio’s work of art. The highlight is in the courtyard where you can find Borromini’s perspective that is amazingly impressive.
