A short walk from Piazza Navona is Saint Anthony of the Portuguese and it's worthy a look inside for the lovely Baroque interior decorated with with marbles, gilded stuccoes and frescoes.
Many of the artworks in the church are by Baroque painter Giacinto Calandrucci. At the high altar is his Virgin handing the Holy Child to Saint Anthony dating from 1707, and the Baptism of Christ in the chapel of Saint John the Baptist.
