Sant'Urbano a Campo Carleo was a church in Rome (Italy), in the Rione Monti, on the former Via Alessandrina.
The church, along with the adjoining Benedictine monastery, was consecrated on 15 August 1264 by Pope Urban IV and built thanks to the generous bequest of the noblewoman Giacoma Bianchi. The toponym comes from the name with which the area was called in the Middle Ages, Campo Carleo, with reference to the palace of a local nobleman, Carlo Leone; the documents also mention the area with the name of campus Caloleonis. From the 16th century on, the church was also known as Sant'Urbano ai Pantani, from the nearby Arco dei Pantani.[ citation needed ]
The early church fell into disrepair: towards the end of the 15th century it was so dilapidated that for the Jubilee of 1600 it was decided to build a new one, to a design by Mario Arconi. The oldest one, however, was not destroyed, but, according to sources, «post absidem novi templi profanata et in foenile redacta» ("deconsecrated behind the apse of the new temple and converted into a barn").[ citation needed ] Restorations took place under the auspices of Francesco Maria del Monte, who was later buried in the church. [1]
The adjoining monastery, which was rebuilt as well, was converted by Pope Clement VIII, at the request of Cardinal Baronio, into a hospice for the spinsters, popularly called le sperse di sant'Eufemia ("the dispersed of St. Euphemia"). The conservatory of Sant'Eufemia and the adjoining church were demolished in the 1930s during the works that brought to light the Imperial fora.[ citation needed ]

The church had a single nave, with a high altar and two side ones. On the right altar there was an Annunciation by Girolamo Muziano; on the main altar a canvas depicting St. Urban, St. Clare, the Madonna and the angels by Sebastiano Ceccarini; on the left altar, St. Charles, St. Francis and St. Nicholas by Ottavio Leoni.
