Sant'Eligio degli Orefici, Renaissance church in Regola district, Rome, Italy
The church features a Greek cross plan with a hemispherical dome supported by four central pillars and illuminated by eight windows.
The University of Goldsmiths and Silversmiths commissioned the church in 1509, following permission from Pope Julius II to build on Via Giulia.
The interior contains frescoes by Matteo da Lecce and Taddeo Zuccari from 1575, depicting religious scenes on the church walls.
The marble floor, installed in 1864, incorporates materials from the damaged church of San Paolo outside Rome's city walls.
This church stands as the only Roman religious building partially designed by Raphael, apart from his work at Saint Peter's Basilica.
