    Palazzo Spada

    Palazzo Spada is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, home to the Galleria Spada, which showcases an exceptional collection of 16th and 17th-century art. Visitors can admire works by Titian, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Rubens, and Guercino, displayed in opulent rooms adorned with frescoes and antique furnishings. The highlight of the palace is Borromini’s perspective gallery, an ingenious optical illusion that makes a short colonnade appear dramatically elongated. Rich in history and artistic treasures, Palazzo Spada offers a unique and immersive experience for lovers of Baroque art and architecture.

Full Description

Step inside one of Rome’s hidden artistic gems with a private guided tour of the Spada Gallery, housed in the elegant 16th-century Palazzo Spada. Far from the usual crowds, this intimate museum offers a unique encounter with Renaissance and Baroque art in a refined aristocratic setting.

Your expert guide will lead you through the gallery’s beautifully decorated rooms, home to masterpieces by artists such as Guido Reni, Guercino, Titian, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Orazio Gentileschi. Each room reflects the taste and prestige of the powerful Spada family, who curated this remarkable collection over centuries.

One of the highlights of the visit is the famous forced perspective colonnade by Francesco Borromini in the palace courtyard. This architectural illusion, which makes a short corridor appear to stretch far into the distance, is a brilliant example of Baroque ingenuity and a delightful surprise for visitors of all ages.

Whether you are an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply curious to discover a hidden corner of Rome, this private tour offers an engaging and enriching experience. With a dedicated guide at your side, you’ll gain unique insights into the artworks, the artists, and the intriguing history of the Spada family, leaving with a deeper appreciation for Rome’s cultural treasures.
