Lonely Planet review

Leading up to the entrance of this baroque beauty is a grand double staircase built by Francesco Grimaldi in 1603. Situated on the site of a Roman temple, of which the two columns flanking the entrance are the only visible sign, the church dates to the 8th century but was almost entirely rebuilt at the end of the 16th century. A huge, gold-stuccoed interior features stunning paintings and frescoes tucked away in the sacristy.
