Outer Ambulatory
The door next to the chair gives access to the church sacristy. On the marble doorframe is the text "Gre XIII a MDLXXX" as a reminder of the decoration of the room at the request of Pope Gregory XIII in the year 1580. On the wall above the door is a fresco The Murder of the Innocents, which is attributed to Antonio Tempesta.
