Sant'Anna al Laterano, Roman Catholic church in Monti, Rome, Italy.
Description
Sant'Anna al Laterano is a church in Rome's Monti neighborhood featuring a Neo-Renaissance facade with a single entrance, rose window, and a prominent bell tower visible from Via Merulana. The interior houses a cross-shaped backlit glass window with six panels in the central nave, with the middle panel showing the crucifixion.
History
The church was consecrated in 1887 as a place of Catholic worship. A major reconstruction in 1927 refreshed its structure while preserving its architectural character for the generations that followed.
Culture
The church serves as a spiritual home for the Daughters of Saint Anne, whose community gathers here to continue their religious life. The name ties together the veneration of Saint Anne with the Lateran tradition, linking this place to Rome's deeper Catholic identity.
Practical
The church sits along Via Merulana and is easy to find from the street. It remains an active place of worship with regular services, so visiting hours may vary depending on religious events or community activities.
