Santa Maria della Pace is a Catholic church in Rome, Italy, not far from Piazza Navona. The building lies in rione Ponte. It is part of a conventual structure that includes the Chiostro del Bramante formerly home to Canons Regular of the Lateran and later the Order of Preachers. The monastery is now used for secular purposes while the church has become one of Rome's national churches, devoted to the people of Chile.
