Adiacente a Palazzo Colonna, la basilica si presenta oggi con il portico quattrocentesco che nasconde la facciata neoclassica di Giuseppe Valadier. All'interno del nartece si notano la stele funeraria dell'incisore Giovanni Volpato, opera di Antonio Canova e altre lapidi. Neoclassico rimane il piano superiore della facciata con il grande finestrone, dove Giovanni Torlonia, all'epoca ancora soltanto duca, volle incisa la fastosa memoria del proprio intervento del 1827. All'interno, caratterizzato da un'architettura solenne e severa, si possono ammirare opere di Antoniazzo Romano, Benedetto Luti, Giuseppe Cades (la Estasi di San Giuseppe da Copertino) e alcuni rilievi tombali del XV secolo, di cui uno ad opera di Mino da Fiesole. Pure ammirevole è la Tomba di Lorenzo Colonna, opera rinascimentale di Luigi Capponi, seguace di Andrea Bregno. Impressionante per l'effetto illusionistico è la Caduta degli Angeli ribelli sopra il presbiterio, di Giovanni Odazzi. Ma le due opere più note sono il fastoso affresco della volta, decorata dal Trionfo dell'Ordine Francescano del Baciccio (1707) e il monumentale sepolcro di papa Clemente XIV di Antonio Canova (1787). La volta della sacrestia è decorata dal veneziano Sebastiano Ricci. Nella basilica sono sepolti i cardinali Basilio Bessarione, Lorenzo Brancati, Agostino Casaroli e il compositore Girolamo Frescobaldi. (fonte Wikipedia)
