Overview

Intended for Baroque art enthusiasts, this 3 hours tour will show you a number of interesting sights by following the footsteps of Caravaggio. You will relish in the dramatic contrast of light and dark, good and evil – both in Caravaggio's art and in his tormented life.

Accompanied by your expert, entertaining guide you will discover all the places where the artist lived, worked and most of all, you will visit places where his masterpieces are housed in Rome: the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo, the Basilica of St Augustine, and the Church of St. Louis of the French.

Church of St. Louis of the French

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to St. Denis the Areopagite and St. Louis IX, king of France. The church was designed by Giacomo della Porta and built by Domenico Fontana between 1518 and 1589, and completed through the personal intervention of Catherine de' Medici, who donated to it some property in the area. It is the national church in Rome of France.

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo

The tour concludes at Santa Maria del Popolo, where Caravaggio’s dramatic vision reaches one of its most powerful expressions. Inside the Cerasi Chapel, you encounter The Conversion of Saint Paul and The Crucifixion of Saint Peter, two masterpieces that mark a decisive moment in the artist’s career. Here, Caravaggio abandons idealization in favor of raw realism, intense light, and deeply human emotion. Your guide helps you read these works in detail, explaining their symbolism, innovative use of chiaroscuro, and the profound spiritual tension that makes this final stop a compelling conclusion to the journey through Caravaggio’s Rome.
