Church of St. Louis The French, Rome Overview
The Church of St. Louis The French is located in Rome in the Piazza di San Luigi de' Francesi. It houses many statues of saints and historical figures like Charlemagne and Saint Louis. Fans of Caravaggio’s works and others would be genuinely delighted by three of his most exquisite works of art displayed here—The Martyrdom of St. Matthew, The Vocation of St. Matthew and St. Matthew and the Angel—in the famous Contarelli Chapel.
Also known as the French National Church, it was constructed in the 16th century by Domenico Fontana. The inside is comprised of three naves and five chapels on each side. The Martyrdom of St. Matthew and The Vocation of St. Matthew are arranged on either side of the main altar, with St. Matthew and the Angel being the altarpiece. The statues inside were made by Pierre Lestache. Tombs of kings and prominent figures are housed in the church.
