Lonely Planet review

Little remains of the original 5th-century church that was built here atop an ancient well sacred to Juno. The exterior, with its Romanesque bell tower and long columned portico, dates to the 12th century, while the elaborate interior is 17th-century baroque. Look out for Guido Reni's Crocifisso (Crucifixion) above the main altar, and a fine bust by Bernini in the Cappella Fonseca, the fourth chapel on the southern side.

The French painter Nicholas Poussin, who died in 1655, is buried in the church.
