Chiesa evangelica Battista, Baptist Church in Monti district, Rome, Italy.

The Chiesa evangelica Battista is a neoclassical church on Via Urbana, built 1873–1878 on land bought by Baptist pastor Thomas Cook. Its sober facade at number 154 has a central portal with a tympanum between two pilasters and two arched windows. Inside are two rooms: a meeting hall with a baptismal font in a small rear apse and a pipe organ, plus a sacristy.

The church was founded in 1878 after Baptist pastor Thomas Cook purchased the land and started construction in 1873. Its creation reflects the growth of the Baptist movement in Rome during the late 19th century, when new congregational spaces were needed.

The interior reflects the needs of its worshippers, with two distinct rooms designed for prayer and baptism ceremonies. The small apse with a baptismal font and pipe organ shows how the space has been adapted to serve its Baptist traditions.

The building is located on Via Urbana in the Monti neighborhood, a central district easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should call ahead before visiting, as access may vary depending on service schedules and events.

The building on Via Urbana 154 houses two congregations: the Italian Baptist community and the Korean "Nuova Vita" church. The Italian Baptist church was built between 1873 and 1878 on land bought by pastor Thomas Cook, and the Korean community now worships in the same rooms.
