Santa Croce in Via Flaminia, Minor basilica and parish church in Flaminio district, Rome, Italy
Santa Croce in Via Flaminia is a minor basilica with a mosaic-covered facade and a portico supported by six Ionic columns. A five-story bell tower in Romanesque Revival style completes the structure.
Built in 1913 by engineer Aristide Leonori under Pope Pius X, the church was created to commemorate the 1600th anniversary of the Edict of Milan. This construction reflected a desire to mark a pivotal moment in ancient religious history.
The basilica displays a modern recreation of the ancient Constantinian Labarum, adorned with embroidery and precious ornaments that represent early Christian symbolism.
The church is located at Via Guido Reni 2 and is open to visitors during regular service times. It is helpful to check opening hours beforehand to plan your visit accordingly.
The site is associated with Emperor Constantine I, who reportedly announced the end of Christian persecution at this location. This historical connection makes the church a meaningful memorial to an important turning point in religious freedom.
