Church of Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino, Rome, Romanesque Revival church on Aventine Hill, Rome, Italy
The church features three naves separated by granite columns, with a main altar and two side altars positioned throughout the interior space.
Pope Leo XIII initiated the construction of Sant'Anselmo in 1893, appointing architect Francesco Vespignani to work with Abbot Ildebrando De Hemptinne on the design.
The church maintains a tradition of Gregorian chant performances during Sunday Vespers, performed by the resident Benedictine monastic community.
The entrance to Sant'Anselmo is accessed through a tree-lined path leading to a quadriportico, where visitors encounter a bronze statue of Saint Anselm.
During Ash Wednesday, the Pope leads a penitential procession from Sant'Anselmo to Santa Sabina for the celebration of Lent's first stationary mass.
