Santa Maria del Popolo, beside the Porta del Popolo (the formal entry into Rome from the Via Flamminia).  Inside are two Caravaggios, stuff by Pinturicchio and numerous memories of the della Rovere family (Pope Julius II was a della Rovere).  The building on the right was an Augustinian convent, and it was here that Martin Luther picked up his ideas about what went on in Rome when he lived there around 1511.
