This 17th-century Palazzo, designed by Carlo Maderno and Bernini, is itself a perfect example of how the elite lived in baroque Rome.
It’s now also part of Rome’s national gallery, and houses the best collection of the city’s old masterpieces – a wealth of art by Filippo Lippi, Raphael, Tintoretto, Titian, Caravaggio and Holbein, plus majestic ceiling frescoes by Pietro da Cortona.
Look out for La Fornarina, an iconic 1595 painting that depicts Raphael’s supposed mistress, the baker’s daughter, who caused his death ‘through a surfeit of love’ as he was frescoing Villa Farnesina.
