No much to see inside. Better from outside. Over 20 euros to enter is too much for what you see.
What a great area of Rome. This palazzo is in the area known as Trastevere, which is home to many fine restaurants and nightlife. Its also home to a daily market in the square just steps from this square. We went on a Monday night and the streets were lined with tables and people. Quite a wonderful place to hang outdoors. Food was great! There was great places for all from street food to fine dining.
Great guided tour (by Federica), beautiful building with gorgeous ceiling art and frescoes.
Fantastic palazzo housing the French Embassy in Rome. I was imvited to celebrate the centenary of the association of the French in Rome
Wonderful evening
Wonderful evening
An outstanding edifice epitomising the work of great architects and artists of the glorious past. The site of the aria Vissi d'arte (Tosca by Puccini) and presently by the French Embassy.
While its splendid architecture can be admired by all from the outside, you need to get a ticket booked in advance with your passport to see the inside. The main reason to go through this hassle (no backpacks allowed, airport-like checks, and it's currently 12 euros) is to see the great fresco by Annibale Carracci. If you love art, it's a must.
The guided tour now changed from 3 years ago, they do not take you to the upper floor loggia with a view. But the Caracci fresco is included as before.
The guided tour takes an hour. There is a bathroom inside available only in courtyard. No bags allowed except for purses. Arrive 30 minutes prior to go through all the checks. Bring your own passport!

One of the most significant of the historic Roman palaces, with contributions from Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane and Michelangelo. Once it use to hold the important “Farnese collection”, now in Naples. Now is famous for it’s beautiful restraint renaissance architecture and the remarkable “Galleria Farnese” with the frescoes of the Carracci brothers. Now France’s Embassy, It’s possible to visit booking a guided tour well in advance.
Fantastic place with fantastic art. There is certainly good reason behind the Hercules piece being as renowned as it is. Can recommend going for a stroll around the plaza as well, especially the monastery next door
