The Jane’s Smart Art™ audio guide to Sta. Maria del
Popolo tells of the central role this delight-filled church
has played in Rome’s history … by virtue of its location just inside
the city’s principle north gate. You’ll learn about some of the
historically-prominent men and women who are buried here—among the
tombs of more than a dozen Cardinals—and about the artists they
commissioned to decorate their chapels.
This church is an extraordinary—but often overlooked—art site.
Hidden behind its unassuming façade is a trove of celebrated art
treasures and unique architectural features. Sta. Maria del Popolo
is virtually bursting with remarkable architecture and art … from
the 800-year-old icon adorning the altar … to the first dome of the
Roman Renaissance … to the last Baroque tomb!
