Photos and description of the chapels click here
Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto are two 17th century churches located on the Piazza del Popolo, facing the northern gate of the Aurelian Walls, at the entrance of Via del Corso on the square.

For reference, a plan of the church is available here.

History

The twin churches were built on the orders of Pope Alexander VII after his predecessors had constructed the Piazza del Popolo. The first architect was Carlo Rainaldi, and work was continued by Carlo Fontana. The church is served by the Priests of the Sacred Heart.
