Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace & Chiostro del Bramante

Modern and contemporary art are juxtaposed against Renaissance architecture at the Chiostro del Bramante (Bramante's Cloister), one of central Rome's best-known exhibition venues. The cloister, which you can visit freely by popping up to the 1st-floor cafe, was originally part of the same monastery complex as the adjoining Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace. Designed by Bramante after arriving from Milan in 1499, it's considered a masterpiece of High Renaissance architecture.
