Church of the Seminary of San Carlos Borromeo, Baroque Jesuit church in Zaragoza, Spain.

The Church of San Carlos Borromeo features a brick facade, a single nave with side chapels, and a cross-vault ceiling within the Royal Seminary complex.

Construction began in the 1540s on a former synagogue site, with significant renovations by Brother Lacarre transforming the interior decoration from 1723 onwards.

The main altarpiece, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, displays 18 life-sized Baroque sculptures adorned in gold, red, green, blue, and pink tones.

Located at Plaza de San Carlos 5, the church maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore its architectural and religious heritage.

The San Jose chapel, built in the 17th century, contains six paintings by Vicente Berdusán from 1693 that inspired Brother Lacarre's church decorations.
