Villa Borghese Gardens

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo

The main attraction of this church are the 12 side chapels, such as the Cerasi chapel with paintings by Caravaggio; the ‘conversion of Paul’ and the ‘crucifixion of Peter’. The Chigi chapel with mosaics representing creation were designed by Raphael.
