Lonely Planet review

Tucked away in the backstreets west of Piazza Navona, this small 15th-century church warrants a quick look. Inside, the main draw is Raphael's Sibille (Sibyls) in the first chapel on the southern side. Outside, it's the adjacent Chiostro del Bramante that steals the limelight. One of Bramante's finest works, the cloisters are a masterpiece of Renaissance styling, their classic lines a marked counterpoint to the church's undulating baroque façade.

The cloisters are often used to house art exhibitions, but you'll usually be allowed to take a free peek at the ground-floor courtyard.
