Tour Description

Step inside a unique royal palace that even the locals seldom see. Belonging to one of the richest and more influential noble families of the 12th – 19th centuries, Palazzo Colonna is truly a sensory feast of stunning architecture, awe-inspiring art and breathtaking sculptures and tapestries. 

This complete tour guides you through the life and times of the aristocratic Colonna family. Your expert guide will lead you first through the vast art collection of the Colonna family, a true jewel of the Roman Baroque Art where you will admire an impressive series of masterpieces by Guercino, Salvator Rosa, Jacopo Tintoretto, Francesco Salviati, Guido Reni, Giovanni Lanfranco and many others.

After the visit to the Art Gallery it’s time to explore the private and intimate part of the Palace, including the Princess’ apartment. The construction of the various wings of Palazzo Colonna lasted for five centuries, this has led to the overlapping of different architectural styles, interiors and exteriors, which characterize and reflect the different periods.
