Nave
By tradition, the Baroque church of San Girolamo della Carità (St Jerome of Charity) stands on the site of the house of St Paula, where St Jerome lived from 382 when he was secretary to Pope Damasus I (r. 366-84). The church was built between 1654 and 1660; the facade is by the Roman architect Carlo Rainaldi (1611-91). 

San Girolamo della Carità boasts two beautiful chapels: the Cappella Spada and the Cappella Antamoro.

A detail of the high altar
The high altar was originally designed by Carlo Rainaldi. However, the upper pediment was added in 1737. The painting is a copy of The Last Communion of St Jerome by Domenichino (1581-1641), which is now in the Vatican's Pinacoteca.
