Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo

Santa Maria del Popolo on Piazza del Popolo is one of Rome's most art-filled churches — historically the first that travellers from the north encountered when entering the city through the Porta del Popolo. Inside, Caravaggio's celebrated Conversion of Saint Paul and Crucifixion of Saint Peter face each other across the Cerasi Chapel, while the Chigi Chapel was designed by Raphael. A jewel of Renaissance art and Augustinian patronage that rivals any museum in the city.
