San Francesco di Paola ai Monti, Baroque church in Monti district, Rome, Italy
San Francesco di Paola ai Monti is a Baroque church in the Monti district with a two-level facade combining travertine marble and plaster. Its interior holds a single nave lined with six chapels, three on each side.
Construction began in 1624 under architect Orazio Torriani and took roughly a century to finish under Barattoni's direction. This extended building period reflects how Baroque design evolved in Rome over time.
The church is named after San Francesco di Paola, a saint from southern Italy whose devotion runs deep in this place. The frescoes inside depict scenes from his life, making him feel present to those who walk through.
This church is located at Via di San Francesco di Paola 10 in Rome and opens during regular visiting hours. For specific details about access or events, calling 06 4880250 can provide useful information.
The bell tower incorporates the medieval Torre dei Margani from the 12th century, still displaying its original coat of arms on the outer wall. This hidden historical layer connects Rome's past directly with the Baroque structure.
