St. Charles Borromeo - Basilica di Santi Ambrogio e Carlo e Carlo al Corso
437 Via del Corso Roma
The church that contains the heart of Saint Charles
This church is dedicated to both Saint Ambrose and Saint Charles who were bishops of Milan. The church was designed and built from 1568-1619 by Onorio Longhi, but then completed by his son Martino Longhi until 1660. Inside the church are beautiful pieces of art, with the main attraction being of Saint Ambrose and and Saint Charles who are being presented to Christ by Mother Mary. It was painted by Carlo Maratta between 1685-1690. This is also the only church that has a deambulatorium (space behind the altar). In that area is where the heart of Saint Charles is kept inside a reliquary.
