Tour Description
Built as a suburban villa for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Galleria Borghese has always housed an unrivalled collection of art. The gallery is one of Europe’s most beautiful, situated within lush, green gardens which tower above Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps.
Learn the history of Cardinal Scipione Borghese and how he created such an incredible gallery—from its conception to the modern-day as I recount all its legends and stories.
