The magnificent abode of princes and princesses, it now houses a number of great masterpieces by Flemish painters.

Works by Titian, Correggio, Caravaggio and sculptures by Canova and Bernini: Rome, city of art.

Tapestries, pottery, precious jewellery and painting by Raphael, ending with a visit to the world-famous Sistine Chapel. The Vatican Museums are by far one of the most important stops on a tour of Rome!
