Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù in Trastevere

The Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù church features a classical facade design with an inscription commemorating its dedication above the main entrance portal.

Construction of the church began in 1909 and concluded in 1925, with its consecration ceremony taking place on May 18, coinciding with Teresa of Lisieux's canonization.

The building transitioned from a Discalced Carmelite convent to the headquarters of the Carmelite Order's General Curia in Rome during 1942.

The church structure now serves as offices for the General Directorate of Litigation of the Ministry of Defense, following its transfer to state property after World War II.

The Latin inscription above the entrance reads 'Anno sacro MCMXXV die XVIII maii templum hoc Deo dicatum in honorem Teresiae ab Infante Jesu in album SS relatae.'
