The Church of St. Louis of the French, known as San Luigi dei Francesi, stands as a testament to the rich cultural and architectural heritage of Rome. Dedicated to the patron saints of France, it is renowned for housing three masterpieces by Caravaggio in the Contarelli Chapel, which depict the life of St. Matthew. This church not only serves as a place of worship but also as a historical monument, reflecting the intertwined histories of France and Italy within its walls.
