Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini, Baroque church in Regola district, Rome, Italy.
Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini is a Baroque church in the Regola district featuring a balanced facade with statues of the four evangelists set in niches. The building combines the worship space with practical areas that once housed pilgrims, including sleeping quarters and dining halls.
Founded in the early 17th century, it replaced a 14th-century structure dedicated to San Benedetto de Arenula. San Felipe Neri oversaw this transformation, establishing the site as a center for supporting traveling faithful.
The name reflects its original purpose as a shelter for travelers journeying to Rome. The simple, purposeful spaces still convey the feeling of a place built to welcome visitors and the faithful.
Access to the church is centered around regular worship services, as the interior continues to function for prayer and religious ceremonies. It is best to plan your visit around service times and approach the space with respect as an active place of worship.
The complex included a hospital that provided shelter and care for poor travelers, operating until the 1940s. This medical facility was a quiet part of the comprehensive support the place offered its guests.
