One of the dome frescoes.

Behind the altar.

For a long time this was the
third largest dome in Rome,
behind the Basilica of St.
Peter and the Pantheon.


About half of the choir and orchestra.

About the other half.


The Baroque facade was added
between 1655 and 1683.

A fountain tucked
away in a courtyard.

The curved facade on this
church is, itself, 
a work of art.

The Basilica of Sant-Agostino
has a Caravaggio.
