Does there exist within the Catholic Church a church, cathedral or even an altar dedicated to the Holy Spirit?

There are several churches dedicated to the Holy Spirit in Italy.
Padova (Padua): Spirito Santo in Padova – Spirito Santo
Venezia (Venice): Chiesa dello Spirito Santo (Venezia)
Firenze (Florence): Basilica di Santo Spirito
A long list: Chiesa dello Spirito Santo
Another: Chiesa di Santo Spirito
All are Roman Catholic; quite likely the list is not complete. No cathedrals, as far as I know.

Canon Law allows it.
Commenting on the 1917 Code's equivalent to the 1983 Code's
Can. 1218 Each church is to have its own title which cannot be changed after the church has been dedicated.
canonist Dom Charles Augustine, O.S.B., writes:
Titles of churches may be: the Blessed Trinity or one of the three Divine Persons35, Jesus Christ or one of the biblical mysteries, the Blessed Virgin or any one of her special attributes, the angels and saints or some conspicuous events in their lives, as, for instance, the conversion of St. Paul.
35. God the Father is, as far as we know, not chosen, because of the fact that He is not represented as sent (defectu missionis divinæ).

There are some churches dedicated to the Holy Spirit in Poland:
Google Maps
Exclude the westmost one - Armenian (not catholic) and the eastmost one - Orthodox.
Translation help (in case the map still shows Polish labels) - English to Polish:
church - kościół
of the Holy Spirit - Świętego Ducha/Ducha Świętego (the ordering of words is not that important in Polish due to extensive declination of nouns - 7 cases)
EDIT: The churches on the map are all Roman Catholic except for the 2 mentioned above. 95% of Polish citizens declare Roman Catholic faith. Most of them are not participating in religious practices but that's a different story. You may only find Protestant churches in bigger cities and some relatively small areas close to borders with Czechia and Germany. Orthodox churches are also present only in bigger cities and areas close to the eastern border with Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Russia.
