This little church, looking sadly neglected down a graffiti covered street, is thought to have been designed by Raphael for the Guild of the Goldsmiths and completed by Baldasare Peruzzi in the 16th century.

If you can get inside the apse frescoes date to 1575 and are of the Holy Trinity by Matteo da Lecce.

The side altars hold frescoes by Taddeo Zuccari, Giovanni de Vecchi and Giovanni Francesco Romanelli.
