Santa Maria Odigitria al Tritone, Baroque Catholic church in Colonna district, Rome, Italy.

Santa Maria Odigitria stands between two buildings on Via del Tritone, featuring a single nave with four chapels decorated with 20th-century artworks.

The church construction began in 1594 under Pope Clement VIII, who authorized Sicilian expatriates to form the Confraternity di Santa Maria Odigitria.

The name Odigitria originates from a Greek term meaning 'Showing the Way', referring to a Byzantine icon of Madonna and Child venerated in Sicily.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors through its entrance at Via del Tritone 82 in central Rome.

The high altar displays a reproduction of the Byzantine icon in a gilded wood frame, while the connected oratory holds an 18th-century fresco by Gaetano Sottino.
