Church of San Carlo alle Cuatro Fontane

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, San Carlino, Church of St. Carla at the Four Fountains
Italy, Rome
Work on the Church of San Carlo alle Cuatro Fontane began in 1634, designed by Francesco Borromini. Borromini created the facade of the cathedral only 30 years later, but did not have time to complete it, because in a fit of despair he cut his throat. The church was erected as part of the monastery complex for the Order of the Holy Trinity and is considered the first creation of the heyday of the Roman Baroque. In 1999, the cathedral was thoroughly restored.

Do not pass by this small church at the crossroads of four fountains. Borromini himself considered it his best creation and constantly improved something until his death and wanted to be buried there, but his grave was in another Fiorentine church in Rome, next to his uncle Carlo Moderna. Borromini's project won the competition with other architects, his eternal rival Bernini admired this work. the church, according to the terms of the order, must be in the obem pillar of the church of St. Peter in the Vatican.
