Santa Maria della Pace

The church features an octagonal crossing with a dome, a rectangular body, and a baroque facade designed by Pietro da Cortona between 1656 and 1667.

Pope Sixtus IV ordered the construction in 1482 on the site of Sant'Andrea de Aquaricariis chapel following a reported miracle of a bleeding Virgin Mary image.

Raphael created the famous fresco of Sibyls and Angels in the Chigi Chapel, while Timoteo Viti completed the four prophets after Raphael's death.

The church stands near Piazza Navona and contains multiple chapels, including the Chigi, Cesi, Ponzetti, and Mignanelli, each displaying Renaissance and Baroque artworks.

The Bramante cloister, built between 1500 and 1504, displays a continuous portico supported by pillars and currently serves as an exhibition space.
