Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, Italy was built on the site of an 11th Century chapel. Pope Gregory IX had a church built there in the 13th Century and gave it to the Augustinians. The church was reconstructed between1472-1477. Between1655-60 the facade was modified by Bernini to modernize the church from Renaissance to Baroque style. Works by Raphael, Bernini and Caravaggio can be found in the church. AIMG_2774
