Santa Teresa, Minor basilica in Municipio II, Rome, Italy.
Santa Teresa is a Romanesque Revival basilica featuring a 40-meter bell tower adorned with suspended arches. The interior divides into three naves separated by pillars with pointed arches that create the main vertical structure.
The church was completed in 1902 under the design of architect Tullio Passarelli. It received the title of minor basilica from Pope Pius XII in 1951.
This place holds deep meaning for the Discalced Carmelite Order and serves as a space where visitors come to pray and reflect. The side altars dedicated to different saints create separate spiritual focal points throughout the interior.
The basilica sits at Corso d'Italia 37 in the Municipio II district and is accessible by public transport. It is best to check visiting hours in advance since regular services take place throughout the week.
A preserved cassock from Pope Pius X is displayed near the baptismal font. This personal garment of an early 20th century pope draws visitors who come specifically to view this historical textile.
