Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical province of Rome

The Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Rome is an administrative division that coordinates several dioceses under an archbishop's leadership. It covers the area surrounding Rome and coordinates multiple parishes and religious institutions across this jurisdiction.

The province traces its origins to early Christianity, when Rome became the center of the faith. Its formal structure developed over centuries to manage the growing number of believers and parishes across the region.

Rome serves as the spiritual center of Catholicism, and its name reflects the ancient city that once anchored an empire. This heritage shapes every church and religious space, drawing believers from around the world who come to experience this connection.

Visitors can explore the various churches and religious sites managed under this province, ranging from small parish churches to large basilicas. It helps to plan which locations to visit in advance, as they are spread across different areas of the city.

The province contains suburbicarian dioceses, special territorial divisions overseen by cardinal-bishops. These distinctive divisions hold historical roots in medieval church organization.
