Cybo-Soderini Chapel, Baroque chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome, Italy.

The Cybo-Soderini Chapel features polychrome marble walls, columns of Sicilian jasper, and a dome visible from Piazza del Popolo.

Cardinal Alderano Cybo ordered the construction of the current chapel between 1682 and 1687, replacing an earlier structure dedicated to Saint Lawrence.

The chapel contains Carlo Maratta's 1686 altarpiece depicting the Disputation over the Immaculate Conception with the Virgin and Church Fathers.

Visitors can examine the chapel's frescoes, marble decorations, and architectural details during regular basilica opening hours throughout the year.

Under the altar rests an alabaster coffin containing the relics of Saint Faustina of Rome, transferred to this location in 1687.
