The loggia of the palace hosts a great number of marble works and decorations inspired to Psyche fairytale, whereas the Sala della Galatea boasts Raphael wonderful fresco of Galatea. At the first floor there is the Salone delle prospettive Architettoniche (with the Gabinetto delle Stampe) and the refined bedroom, with Sodoma fresco of the Marriage of Alexander and Roxanne. Nowadays the villa is the seat of the Accademia dei Lincei.
