Your journey begins at Santa Maria del Popolo, a Renaissance church tucked just inside Rome’s ancient city gates. Step into the Chigi Chapel, a masterpiece of harmony and classical elegance designed by Raphael himself. As your guide shares the chapel’s rich history, take in the exquisite marble details and the luminous mosaic dome, both bearing the unmistakable touch of Raphael’s architectural genius.

Basilica of Sant’Agostino in Campo Marzio
Next, visit the Basilica di Sant’Agostino, home to Raphael’s striking fresco of the Prophet Isaiah. Gaze upward to see the powerful figure brought to life with dynamic form and profound expression. Note the anatomical precision, especially in the bent knee—a small detail that showcases Raphael’s mastery of the human body. Though modest in scale, this often-overlooked work demonstrates the artist’s command of movement, volume, and classical poise.

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace
Continue to the peaceful Santa Maria della Pace, tucked away near Piazza Navona. Here, in the Chigi Chapel, Raphael’s fresco of the Sibyls adorns the upper wall with vibrant colour and graceful movement. These mythical prophetesses, painted with extraordinary detail and energy, reflect Raphael’s unique ability to merge classical figures with spiritual themes, creating imagery that felt fresh and innovative in his time.
20 minutes

Pantheon
Your final stop is the awe-inspiring Pantheon, one of Rome’s greatest architectural marvels. Beneath its vast dome - once a temple to the gods and now a Christian church - you’ll find Raphael’s tomb. As you stand under the open oculus, your guide will reflect on the artist’s legacy and the honour of being laid to rest in such a monumental space, among the most sacred and enduring in Rome.
