The Church of St. Louis of the French is the national church in Rome of France.
The church's most famous treasure is the cycle of paintings in the Contarelli Chapel, painted by the Baroque master Caravaggio in 1599–1600 about the life of St. Matthew. This includes the three world-renowned canvases of The Calling of St Matthew, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew.
