Rome : Palazzo and Galleria Spada

No one has rated this yet.

This superb 16th-century palace contains a specially built 17th-century gallery to hold the cardinals’s collection of Renaissance, Baroque and later works, including paintings by Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder. One of the high points is Borromini’s whimsical trompe-l’oeil gallery, a clever study in illusory perspective that appears to be four times longer that it really is (see Palazzo Spada).
