San Carlo ai Catinari

Local nameSanti Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari
LocationVatican City, Rome, Italy

San Carlo ai Catinari, also called Santi Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari, is an early-Baroque style church in Rome, Italy. It is located on Piazza Benedetto Cairoli, 117 just off the corner of Via Arenula and Via dei Falegnami, a few blocks south of the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle.

The attribute ai Catinari refers to the presence, at the time of its construction, of the many makers of wooden basins who worked in the area. The church was commissioned by the Order of the Barnabites and funded by the Milanese community in Rome to honour their fellow Milanese St. Charles Borromeo. It is one of at least three Roman churches dedicated to him and one of a number of great 17th century preaching churches built by Counter-Reformation orders in the Centro Storico.
