Tips from the Community
It is a three-aisled and four-aisled Gothic church with chapels between buttresses, a triforium, and a polygonal apse covered by ribbed vaults. At the base is a 14th-century portal with three archivolts, above which stands the Virgin and Child, adored by two angels. The south portal, the tomb of Cesare Borgia, features ornamentation characteristic of Mannerism and focuses the temple's greatest interest on its external appearance.
