Top 10 Best of the Rest
-
1. Sant’Agnese in Agone
Built in honour of a 13-year-old girl who was stripped in a brothel but whose hair miraculously grew to cover her nakedness. Borromini’s façade is a wonderful play of concave and convex shapes.
-
2. Domitian’s Stadium
The outline of this AD 86 stadium is echoed in Piazza Navona, built on top of its remains.
-
3. Via dei Coronari
Lined with antiques shops, this street is at its torch-flickering best during the May and October antiques fairs.
-
4. Palazzo Pamphilj
This 17th-century palace has a wonderful Pietro da Cortona fresco upstairs.
-
5. Chiesa Nuova
Pietro da Cortona painted the dome and apse and Rubens three sanctuary canvases for this 1575 church.
-
6. Palazzo Braschi
The last papal family palace built from 1791 to 1811. Cosimo Morelli used a Renaissance design to match the piazza. Inside is a small museum dedicated to Roman history.
-
7. Sant’Antonio dei Portoghesi
A Baroque gem of a church. Out front is the Torre della Scimmia, a rare remnant of medieval Rome.
-
8. Santa Maria dell’Anima
Highlights in this gilded church are a Giulio Romano altarpiece and Peruzzi’s Hadrian VI tomb (1523).
-
9. Museo Napoleonico
A collection of paintings, furnishings and objets d’art that once belonged to the extensive Bonaparte clan.
-
10. San Salvatore in Lauro
A chapel in this 1594 church houses da Cortona’s Adoration of the Shepherds (1630).
