He was a significant architect as well

In Italy, Raphael was now regarded as a leading painter. He decided to hire some apprentices and helpers because he had a lot of work to accomplish. They performed the Stanza dell'Incendio, or Fire Room, as a group. Raphael, however, soon accepted a few more tasks as an architect. The chapel in Sant' Eligio degli Orefici was created by him. The Santa Maria del Popolo Chapel in Rome, which is located inside the Saint Peter's Basilica, was also created by Raphael, which is an intriguing truth about him.

Raphael had a wide range of interests, which is evident in the fact that his creations are not just limited to religious structures or religious paintings. Many palaces and other private parts of homes were created by Raphael.

He created numerous more structures, and for a brief period, he was Rome's most prominent architect, designing structures for a select group of people close to the Papacy. Julius changed the layout of Rome's streets, adding a few new thoroughfares, and he wished to line them with magnificent palaces. Raphael was well-known for his entire body of work in Rome, but outside of this capital city, he was most known for his printmaking abilities.
