San Giovanni della Malva in Trastevere, Catholic church in Trastevere district, Rome, Italy.
The church features a tripartite facade with a triangular tympanum and displays a bas relief of Virgin Mary with two saints above the entrance.
Originally documented in 1123 through a papal bull by Pope Callixtus II, the current structure was rebuilt in 1851 after the medieval building deteriorated.
The building serves as the national church for the Albanian community in Rome, creating a connection between Italian and Albanian Catholic traditions.
Located in Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva, visitors can attend religious services and explore the Greek Cross layout with its hemispherical dome.
The church name derives from either local mallow plants or a modification of Mica Aurea, meaning golden sand in medieval documents.
