See splendid art in this majestic palace that was once home to gender-non-conforming icon Queen Christina of Sweden, who settled here to live an emancipated life after abdicating the Swedish throne. The16th-century palace was designed by Ferdinando Fuga in grand Versailles style. It now houses a vast collection of Italian and Flemish paintings from the 13th to the 19th century, including Caravaggio's San Giovanni Battista (St John the Baptist; c 1604), plus works by Fra' Angelico, Rubens and Van Dyck.
The gallery is directly across from the main entrance to the Villa Farnesina.
