San Carlo al Corso, Baroque church in Noto, Italy

The church presents a concave facade with three levels of columns, incorporating Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian architectural elements across its structure.

Following the devastating earthquake of 1693, architect Rosario Gagliardi designed this religious building to replace the previous church that stood at this location.

The interior displays numerous 18th-century altarpieces depicting biblical scenes, including the Sacrifice of Isaac and representations of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

Located at Corso Vittorio Emanuele 119, the church contains a tower with 80 steps leading to a balcony that provides views of Noto Cathedral.

The main altar maintains its original structure from the previous church, while the nave ceiling features frescoes by Costantino Carasi showing the Transfiguration.
