Santa Caterina dei Funari
Santa Caterina dei Funari, Renaissance church in Sant'Angelo district, Rome, Italy.
The church displays a travertine facade divided into two sections with Corinthian pilasters, featuring a central rose window and multiple framed panels.
Built in 1564 under Cardinal Federico Cesi's sponsorship, the church replaced an earlier 9th-century structure dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
The interior contains valuable artworks, including altarpieces by Annibale Carracci, Girolamo Muziano, and Scipione Pulzone, along with frescoes by Raffaellino da Reggio.
The church stands near the former location of Circus Flaminius, where rope makers once worked, explaining the 'Funari' name meaning ropemakers.
The building served as an educational center for disadvantaged girls after 1534 when Pope Paul III granted it to Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
