Full description

San Carlo al Corso stands on a busy shopping street near the Duomo, so many passers-by walk straight past it. Its neoclassical facade was designed by Carlo Amati in 1844 and completed in 1847, and reviewers say the interior is beautiful and quiet, with notable artwork and a calm atmosphere suited to prayer.

Entry is free and a visit takes around 15 minutes, making it an easy add-on while shopping or walking between central sights. Renovation work has been mentioned by visitors, so some areas may be affected depending on when you go.

Reviews

It’s easy to pass by and no go in amidst the shopping stores around. The interior is really beautiful. Beautiful church worth visiting.
