====North aisle====
* In the first chapel of the north aisle is Michelangelo's ''Pietà''.{{NoteTag|The statue was damaged in 1972 by Lazlo Toft, a Hungarian-Australian, who considered that the veneration shown to the statue was idolatrous. The damage was repaired and the statue subsequently placed behind glass.}}
* On the first pier in the right aisle is the monument of [[Queen Christina of Sweden]], who abdicated in 1654 in order to convert to Catholicism.
* The second chapel, dedicated to [[Saint Sebastian]], contains the statues of popes [[Pope Pius XI|Pius XI]] and [[Pope Pius XII|Pius XII]]. The space below the altar used to be the resting place of [[Pope Innocent XI]] but his remains were moved to the ''Altar of the Transfiguration'' on 8 April 2011. This was done to make way for the body of [[Pope John Paul II]]. His remains were placed beneath the altar on 2 May 2011.
* The large chapel on the right aisle is the ''Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament'' which contains the tabernacle by Bernini (1664) resembling Bramante's ''Tempietto'' at [[San Pietro in Montorio]] supported by two kneeling angels and with behind it a painting of the [[Holy Trinity]] by [[Pietro da Cortona]].
* Near the altar of ''Our Lady of Succour'' are the monuments of popes [[Pope Gregory XIII|Gregory XIII]] by [[Camillo Rusconi]] (1723) and [[Pope Gregory XIV|Gregory XIV]].
* At the end of the aisle is an altar containing the relics of [[Saint Petronilla]] and with an altarpiece ''The Burial of St Petronilla'' by [[Guercino]] (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri), 1623.
