The grand facade of Palazzo Doria Pamphilj (facing Via del Corso) abounds with images of a dove (bearing an olive branch in its beak) and a fleur-de-lys, the heraldic symbols of the Pamphilj family. The exuberant facade (1731-34), the work of Gabrielle Valvassori (1683-1761), is thought to be the finest example of Rococo architecture in Rome. Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is home to the Galleria Doria Pamphilj. Comments are closed.
