San Giovanni della Malva in Trastevere, Catholic church in Trastevere district, Rome, Italy.

San Giovanni della Malva is a Catholic church on Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva in Trastevere. Its tripartite facade ends in a triangular tympanum; above the door a bas-relief shows the Virgin Mary with John the Evangelist and John the Baptist, and two coats of arms carry the lamb and the eagle. The interior is a Greek cross with a hemispherical dome, preceded by an atrium with the choir gallery above.

The church was first documented in 1123 through a papal bull issued by Pope Callixtus II, confirming a building already stood at this location. The structure you see today was rebuilt in 1851 after the medieval church had deteriorated beyond repair.

Since a 2004 decree of the Vicariate of Rome, the Albanian Catholic community has used the church for prayer and pastoral activities, and celebrations follow the Latin rite in Albanian. The building is also known in Albanian as kisha e Shën Janit të Shqiptarëve, the church of Saint John of the Albanians.

The church is located on Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva in the Trastevere neighborhood and is easily reached on foot. You can attend services or visit the interior during opening hours to see the Greek Cross layout and dome.

The name is first attested only in 1367. Some medieval catalogues of Roman churches list it as Sancti Iohannis Mica Aurea, a name given to the part of the Janiculum still called Montorio, so the mallow explanation may be secondary. The church is also called in Albanian kisha e Shën Janit të Shqiptarëve.
