Sant'Egidio, Catholic church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

The church presents a protobaroque facade with a single order, featuring a main door and window framed by Corinthian pilasters supporting a triangular pediment.

The church structure, completed in 1630, replaced an earlier chapel mentioned in 1123 and became part of a Discalced Carmelite monastery complex.

The central altar displays a 17th-century Russian icon of the Mandylion, depicting Christ's face on cloth held by angels.

Evening prayers continue in this church, which underwent restoration in 1998 while maintaining original architectural elements and religious artwork.

The chapel contains an altar of the poor with numerous crosses forming a mountain beneath a large wooden crucifix.
