Santa Maria del Popolo, Minor basilica in Campo Marzio, Rome, Italy
The basilica features a Latin cross floor plan with three naves, adorned with Renaissance architecture and numerous artistic masterpieces throughout its halls.
The church stands on the site where Emperor Nero was buried, replaced by a chapel in 1099 under Pope Paschal II at the expense of Roman citizens.
The Cerasi Chapel contains two significant Caravaggio paintings from 1601: the Crucifixion of Saint Peter and the Conversion of Saint Paul.
The basilica maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours to explore its chapels, Renaissance architecture, and extensive art collection.
The Chigi Chapel, designed by Raphael in 1513 for banker Agostino Chigi, displays dome mosaics and pyramid tombs completed by Bernini in the 1650s.
