Church of Santi Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso

The church of San Girolamo dei Croati a Ripetta, built in 1588-89, is the national church of the Croats in Rome. A community of refugees fleeing the Turks from Illyria and Slavonia had settled in the area overlooking the port of Ripetta since the 14th century. In 1453, Pope Nicholas V granted them the establishment of the Congregation of Saint Jerome of the Slavs. In the following century, Pope Sixtus V, who already owned the church, had it completely rebuilt by Martino Longhi the Elder between 1588 and 1589, adding a bell tower and rich furnishings.

The church of San Rocco in Rome is a reconstruction of the 17th century. The sacristy, the construction of the dome, the insertion of the new chapel of the "Madonna delle Grazie", are all due to the architect Giovanni Antonio De Rossi (1616-1695). In the first half of the 18th century the chapels were embellished with marble decoration, while the façade was built in neoclassical style by the architect Giuseppe Valadier (1762-1839) in 1832.

San Lorenzo in Lucina was first consecrated in the 5th century. The church as we see it today dates mainly from the 17th century when the interior was completely transformed by Cosimo Fanzago. Another restoration was carried out in the second half of the 19th century, during which, by order of Pius IX, the Baroque decorations of the nave were removed and replaced by the frescoes by Roberto Bompiani that can still be seen today.
