San Carlo al Corso, Minor basilica in Campo Marzio, Rome, Italy

The basilica features a Latin cross plan with three naves, a deambulatory around the presbytery, and a dome among the largest in Rome.

Construction started in 1612 under architect Onorio Longhi, replacing a 10th-century building, and continued for eight decades due to financial constraints.

The church functions as the national place of worship for Lombard residents in Rome, with the cardinal title traditionally belonging to Milan's archbishop.

The religious services include masses in Norwegian during Christmas and Constitution Day, drawing numerous Norwegian expatriates to the congregation.

Behind the main altar, a gilded reliquary contains the heart of Saint Charles Borromeo, sent to Rome in 1613 as a sacred relic.
