What you can expect

Meet your guide in Caprarola and step inside one of Italy’s most stunning palaces. Nestled amidst the greenery of the Cimini Mountains and overlooking the picturesque Lake Vico, the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola dominates the Tuscia landscape with its unmistakable pentagonal shape.

On your guided tour of the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, discover frescoed rooms that seem to tell a storey, ceilings decorated by some of the greatest artists of the 16th century, summer and winter apartments, hidden passageways, mysterious symbols, and surprising facts about the powerful Farnese family.

Walk up the spectacular Scala Regia, one of the finest staircases of the Italian Renaissance, admire the magnificent circular courtyard, and lose yourself among frescoes rich in myths, allegories, heroic deeds, and some irresistible court gossip.

Every room tells a storey. It is like leafing through a giant illustrated book where princes, cardinals, popes, and nobles come to life before your eyes.

Palazzo Farnese is not just a museum: it is a place that sparks the imagination. Children are captivated by the monumental halls, the animals hidden in the frescoes, the mysterious symbols, and the stories of princes, cardinals, and court intrigues. Adults, meanwhile, discover one of the greatest masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance through engaging stories, interesting facts, and anecdotes that make the visit entertaining and never dull.

And the wonder continues outside, amongst elegant Renaissance gardens, fountains, panoramic terraces, and spectacular optical illusions designed to amaze the guests of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese.
