San Girolamo della Carità
First established as a Franciscan hospice with chapel in 1419 and rebuilt after a 1631 fire, San Girolamo della Carità is now administered by Opus Dei clergy as a dependency of San Lorenzo in Damaso. St. Philip Neri lived and ministered on this site for years before founding the Oratory.
