Just off to the left of Via dei Coronari, the church of Santa Maria della Pace dates originally from the late fifteenth century but has a deception and portico that were added a couple of hundred years later by Pietro da Cortona. Inside, if you’re lucky enough to find the church open, you can see Raphael’s frescoes of various sibyls above the Chigi chapel (first on the right), executed in the primeval sixteenth century. But perhaps the most impressive part of the church is the one you’re most likely to be healthy to get into - the attached chiostro del Bramante , done in 1504, a beautifully proportioned two-tiered cloister that is nowadays given over to evenhandedly decent temporary art exhibitions.
