Rome - Oratorio di San Giovanni in Oleo

The Oratory of St John "in the Oil" is a small octagonal chapel built by Bramante at the beginning of the 16th century on the remains of an earlier building, and later embellished by Borromini. Here, according to legend, St John was thrown into boiling oil but emerged unharmed, thereafter being banished to Patmos. If the Oratory is closed apply to the missionary college at No. 17.
