Sant'Eligio dei Ferrari, Baroque church in Rione Ripa, Rome, Italy

The church contains three altars on each side of its single nave, decorated with golden stucco work from 1604.

The Ferrari blacksmith guild constructed the church in 1513 on the site of an earlier church mentioned in a 1302 papal document.

The main altar displays a late 16th-century painting depicting Madonna Enthroned with Saint James and Bishops Eligius and Martin.

The church opens its doors to visitors at Via di San Giovanni Decollato 9, where they can examine the Mannerist frescoes and wooden sculptures.

The attached Museum of the Archconfraternity preserves artifacts and documents related to Rome's historical metalworking traditions.
