San Carlo Borromeo, Turin, Baroque church in Piazza San Carlo, Turin, Italy.

The San Carlo Borromeo church features symmetrical architecture with a central nave, marble altars, and a decorative facade completed in 1834.

Construction began in 1619 under Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy, with the structure initially completed in 1625 and substantial modifications made throughout the centuries.

The main altar displays a painting by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli depicting Saint Charles kneeling before the Shroud of Turin.

Twin churches stand at opposite ends of Piazza San Carlo, with San Carlo Borromeo mirroring Santa Cristina in design and placement.
