Church of Saint Jerome of Charity
54-84 Via di Monserrato Roma
House of St. Jerome & Iconic Spada Chapel
Saint Jerome of Charity is a small church hidden in the back alleys of the historic center of Rome. Although not very well known, this church preserves a unique treasure inside. When Jerome came to Rome to consult with the Pope, he stayed here in this place, where there used to be a house.
But the real treasure of the church is the "Spada Chapel." The chapel is an intimate place where two of the most important members of the family rest: Giovanni Spada, a close collaborator of Pope Innocent IV, and Bernardino Spada, an influential cardinal who lived in the 17th century.
