Step into a house of masterpieces where centuries of Italian art sit side by side. Palazzo Barberini brings together Renaissance treasures by Raphael and Caravaggio under one roof, alongside frescoed ceilings, religious icons and portraits of popes and cardinals painted by artists from across the region — and your ticket also unlocks Palazzo Corsini at no extra cost.

Wander through three floors of Palazzo Barberini's collection, taking in paintings by Raphael, Caravaggio, Canaletto and Holbein as you go.

The palace's ornate rooms hold works from countless other Italian and European masters too. Don't forget to look up: the ceiling bursts into a swirling fresco of clouds and figures, a masterpiece by the painter and architect Pietro da Cortona.

Your ticket doubles as entry to Palazzo Corsini, a building with roots stretching back to 1511. After abdicating her throne, Queen Christina of Sweden made this palace her home in Rome.

Inside, discover sculpture, bronze work and paintings from Beato Angelico, Peter Paul Rubens and Guido Reni, and experience a textbook example of Baroque architecture from every angle — a fittingly regal dose of art in the Eternal City.
