In the Cerasi chapel you will find two paintings by Caravaggio, one of which is showing the crucifixion of St. Peter and the other conversion of St. Paul. The Chigi chapel on the left handside of the entrance was designed by Raphael, later statues by Bernini were added. This chapel is truly magnificent and is the most beautiful in the whole church.
