Modern parish church in the Centro Direzionale designed by Pierluigi Spadolini, recognisable by its tall spire.

The church of San Carlo Borromeo stands in the heart of the Centro Direzionale and is one of its visual landmarks. It was designed by the architect Pierluigi Spadolini as part of the master plan by Kenzo Tange, begun in 1982 and completed in 1995.We like its slender lines and tall spire, which converses with the surrounding skyscrapers. There are no historic works inside: it is a stop for lovers of contemporary architecture.
