San Camillo de Lellis, Minor basilica in Sallustiano district, Rome, Italy
Description
San Camillo de Lellis is a church built from red stone with travertine details in Rome, designed in a Latin cross shape with three interior aisles. The building has three entrance doorways and a grand staircase leading up to the front.
History
Construction began in 1906 under Pope Pius X's direction, with architect Tullio Passarelli overseeing the project until its completion in 1910. The church was built to serve the Order founded by Saint Camillus, who dedicated his life to ministering to the sick.
Culture
The central doorway features carved stone showing Christ presenting Saint Camillus to the sick, which tells you about this church's mission to care for ill people.
Practical
This is an active religious center and headquarters for a religious order, so visiting hours follow worship schedules rather than tourist hours. Check opening times in advance before planning your visit.
Did you know?
Sculptor Alberto Galli created the 1911 statue of Saint Camillus standing near the high altar, adding an important artistic touch to the interior. Galli also carved the stone reliefs showing Pope Pius X studying the church's architectural plans.
