Galleria Borghese
About

Galleria Borghese, set within the beautiful Villa Borghese gardens, is one of Rome’s most treasured art museums and a must-see for art and history lovers. Housed in a 17th-century villa built by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the museum showcases a stunning private collection of masterpieces by some of Italy’s greatest artists. Inside, visitors can admire the dramatic sculptures of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, including Apollo and Daphne and The Rape of Proserpina, along with paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Canova. The rooms themselves are richly decorated with frescoes, mosaics, and antique furnishings, offering a lavish setting that enhances the artworks. Visits are limited to two-hour slots and require advance booking, which helps maintain an intimate and uncrowded experience. Surrounded by the greenery of Rome’s most famous park, Galleria Borghese offers both cultural richness and scenic beauty, making it a perfect stop for a refined and unforgettable Roman outing.
