According to legend, the temple arose on this site to exorcise the restless spirit of Emperor Nero (in ancient times, Nero was indeed buried on this site). Worth seeing: the dome of the Chigi chapel is decorated with mosaics after drawings by Raphael, and 2 catinas of Caravaggio - the Conversion of St. Paul and the Crucifixion of St. Peter.
