The church of St. Teresa of Carmel in Caprarola is a masterpiece of Girolamo Rainaldi and was built by the Farnese to complete the transformation of the village.
It has an imposing façade and is built on a tuff cliff in front of the south facade of the Palazzo Farnese.
It is surrounded by green hills and its facade recalls the architecture of the Venetian villas.
Inside, there are important works including the portrait of Odoardo Farnese, who gave funds to realize the church to grant the wish of his uncle Pope Paul III, and also a painting by Guido Reni which depicts Santa Teresa.
