The Chiesa di San Sisto was once home to Raphael's Sistine Madonna, commissioned by none other than Julius II to create an altarpiece for the church. Raphael painted his Sistine Madonna around 1513. The canvas hung in the Chiesa di San Sisto until 1754. In that year, it was sold to an art collector, after which the Sistine Madonna ended up in the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, where you can still see it today. A copy now hangs in the empty space in the Chiesa di San Sisto, but even though you can no longer admire Raphael's original Madonna in the San Sisto, the church is still worth a visit, also for its beautiful cloister and sixteenth-century frescoes.

The 16th-century Santa Maria di Campagna , built in the Renaissance style, has beautiful frescoes by Pordenone and Bernardino Gatti, who decorated the dome with colorful paintings. The church also features a statue of Ranuccio Farnese, Duke of Piacenza, from 1616 by the sculptor Francesco Mochi, who also created the equestrian statues in Piazza Cavalli.
