Originally erected in the 8th century over the remains of a temple dedicated to Minerva, the church was rebuilt in gothic style in 1280.
Among its many treasures are Michelangelo’s Risen Christ at the side of the high altar, frescoes by Filippino Lippi in the Carafa Chapel, and the monument to the Venerabile Maria Raggi by Bernini.
Under the high altar is the sarcophagus containing the remains of St. Catherine of Siena. The tomb of Fra Beato Angelico is in the left chapel.
