About Barberini Palace & Galleria Corsini Ticket
One ticket grants access to two of the finest art palaces in Rome — Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini — both forming part of the National Gallery of Ancient Art (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica) and offering a combined experience of Baroque architecture and Renaissance and Baroque painting that rivals any museum in Italy.
Palazzo Barberini is a landmark of 17th-century Roman architecture, designed by Carlo Maderno, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Francesco Borromini for the powerful Barberini family. The palace's grand floor plan, dramatic staircase by Borromini, and extraordinary interior spaces provide a magnificent backdrop for a collection of over 1,000 works. The undisputed highlight is the Salone Pietro da Cortona — the palace's principal hall, whose entire ceiling is covered in Pietro da Cortona's colossal 1639 fresco The Triumph of Divine Providence, one of the definitive achievements of Baroque illusionistic painting. The painting collection encompasses works by Raphael, including La Fornarina (believed to be a portrait of his lover), Caravaggio's Judith Beheading Holofernes and Narcissus, Hans Holbein the Younger's famous Portrait of Henry VIII, Tintoretto, Lotto, El Greco, Poussin, and many more.
Galleria Corsini, included in the same ticket with 20 days' validity from first use, occupies the intimate rooms of Palazzo Corsini and houses a smaller but equally distinguished collection featuring works by Caravaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, Guercino, Murillo, and Angelico. The palace was once home to Queen Christina of Sweden, and its quiet, uncrowded rooms provide one of the most intimate art gallery experiences in the city.

Insiders' Tips
Head straight to the Salone Pietro da Cortona on arrival — the ceiling fresco is the most overwhelming and extraordinary single sight in the palace and deserves unhurried time. Visit Galleria Corsini on a separate afternoon during your 20-day validity window, as its intimate rooms and shorter visit time make it a perfect complement to the more substantial Barberini experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Barberini Palace and Galleria Corsini ticket?
The ticket includes entry to Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini — both forming part of the National Gallery of Ancient Art — with both venues accessible using the same ticket within 20 days of first use at Palazzo Barberini. The permanent collections at both palaces are included, covering over 1,000 works spanning the 13th to 18th centuries.
What are the must-see works at Palazzo Barberini?
The absolute must-sees are Pietro da Cortona's enormous ceiling fresco The Triumph of Divine Providence in the Salone, Raphael's La Fornarina, Caravaggio's Judith Beheading Holofernes and Narcissus, and Hans Holbein the Younger's Portrait of Henry VIII. The Borromini helical staircase is also one of the most photographed architectural features in any Roman palace.
What is Pietro da Cortona's ceiling fresco at Palazzo Barberini?
The Triumph of Divine Providence is a colossal Baroque ceiling fresco painted by Pietro da Cortona between 1633 and 1639, covering the entire ceiling of the palace's grand Salone with an extraordinary trompe-l'oeil composition of divine figures, clouds, and allegorical scenes celebrating the Barberini family. It is widely considered one of the greatest achievements of Baroque illusionistic painting and a rival to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in its ambition and impact.
What is Galleria Corsini and how is it different from Palazzo Barberini?
Galleria Corsini is a smaller, more intimate art gallery in the Trastevere neighbourhood, housed in Palazzo Corsini and displaying a distinguished collection of Baroque works including paintings by Caravaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, Guercino, and Murillo. Unlike the grand scale of Palazzo Barberini, Galleria Corsini offers a quieter and more personal gallery experience in fewer but beautifully appointed rooms.
Is the Caravaggio 2025 exhibition included in the standard ticket?
No, the Caravaggio 2025 special exhibition — which ran from March to July 2025 and featured 24 Caravaggio works including loans from the Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza — requires a separate additional ticket. The standard Barberini Palace and Galleria Corsini combo ticket covers the permanent collections only at both venues.
How long is the Barberini Palace and Galleria Corsini ticket valid?
The combined ticket is valid for 20 days from the date of first use at Palazzo Barberini, allowing you to visit Galleria Corsini at any point within that window. Most visitors choose to visit Palazzo Barberini first and Galleria Corsini on a separate afternoon later in their Rome stay.
Who was La Fornarina and why is her portrait at Palazzo Barberini significant?
La Fornarina is a portrait painted by Raphael around 1520 and is widely believed to depict Margherita Luti, the baker's daughter who was Raphael's mistress and great love. The painting is celebrated for its intimate sensuality, its extraordinary technical quality, and the ring on her arm inscribed with Raphael's name, making it one of the most personal and emotionally charged works in his entire output.
Is Palazzo Barberini suitable for children?
Yes, children under 18 enter Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini completely free, and the dramatic scale of the Pietro da Cortona ceiling fresco, the Borromini staircase, and the powerful imagery of Caravaggio's works tend to engage younger visitors in ways that more conventional gallery displays sometimes do not. Photography is permitted throughout for personal use, and the self-paced format allows families to move at a comfortable speed.
Where is Palazzo Barberini located and how do I get there?
Palazzo Barberini is at Via delle Quattro Fontane 13, a 5-minute walk from Barberini station on Metro Line A, and is conveniently located near the Trevi Fountain, the Capuchin Crypt, and the Spanish Steps. Galleria Corsini is in the Trastevere neighbourhood at Via della Lungara 10, reachable by Bus 23 or 280 to Lungotevere della Farnesina.
Do I need to book Barberini Palace and Galleria Corsini tickets in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly during peak season from April to October and whenever special exhibitions are running, as timed entry slots can fill up. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 14% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and a flexible e-ticket valid at both venues across a 20-day window.
