San Carlo al Corso, Neoclassical minor basilica near Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan, Italy.

The basilica features a circular hall with a 32-meter diameter dome and an external portico supported by 36 monolithic Baveno granite columns.

Built between 1838 and 1847 by architect Carlo Amati to replace the medieval Santa Maria dei Servi church after a cholera epidemic ended.

The Servite Order maintains the basilica, organizing biblical courses and spiritual events while preserving its role as a religious center in Milan.

Daily religious services take place in the basilica, with specific schedules for masses, confessions, and community gatherings throughout the week.

The church bell tower reaches 72 meters, making it the tallest in Milan, and contains a pipe organ installed in 1964.
