San Liborio

San Liborio is a church in Rome that embodies modern architectural principles from the 1990s, located on Via Diego Fabbri in the Ponte Mammolo area. The building combines contemporary design elements with the requirements of Catholic worship.

The parish was established in 1965 through a decree issued by Cardinal Vicar Luigi Traglia to serve the growing population of the area. The current building was constructed later, in the 1990s, following contemporary architectural designs.

The church takes its name from Saint Liborius, an early Christian bishop whose veneration connects to broader European spiritual traditions. Visitors experience here modern Catholic practices that reflect contemporary approaches to religious community.

Visiting the church is easiest by public transport, as it sits in a residential neighborhood with good connections. Entering during services may feel intrusive, so visiting at other times is preferable.

The church was designed by architect Ennio Canino, who took a deliberately different approach to modern church architecture in Rome. His design stands apart from traditional church buildings and shows a fresh approach to religious space.
