Church of 1616 of the barbers' congregation, created inside the 16th-century loggia of the Banchi Nuovi.

In largo Banchi Nuovi, near Santa Chiara, the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano stands where the 16th-century loggia of the Banchi Nuovi once was. It was founded in 1616 by the congregation of barbers, whose patrons were the two physician saints.Let's look at the façade: the round arches of the loggia can still be made out, with the 17th-century piperno doorway and an 18th-century window. Inside, the 18th-century high altar remains; the panel painting that adorned it is now in the Museo Diocesano.
