Palazzo Doria Pamphilj

---

On April 7th 1761, the Roman architect Gabriele Vavassori (b. 1683) died. 

Vavassari designed the exuberant facade (facing Via del Corso) of Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, which is thought to be the finest example of Rococo design in Rome.

The facade abounds with images of a dove (bearing an olive branch in its beak) and a fleur-de-lys, the heraldic charges of the Pamphilj family's coat of arms.  

Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is home to the Galleria Doria Pamphilj.
