San Francesco a Monte Mario, Baroque church on Monte Mario, Rome, Italy.

San Francesco a Monte Mario is a baroque church atop Monte Mario featuring white marble surfaces and arched windows in characteristic baroque style. The complex combines an original 17th-century structure with a modern church building from the early 21st century.

Bartolomeo Neri, a protonotary apostolic, funded a rural chapel here in 1660; it was replaced between 1667 and 1676 by the church designed by Pietro Passalacqua. The bell tower was finished in 1678, and Pope Benedict XIII consecrated the church only on 2 July 1728. Made a parish in 1703 under Cardinal Gaspare Carpegna, it passed from the Hieronymites to the Scolopi in 1933.

The church serves as a spiritual gateway along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, where travelers begin their sacred journey through Rome. Its position makes it a meaningful stopping point for those undertaking this centuries-old spiritual passage.

The church is located on Piazza Monte del Gaudio and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and check opening hours in advance, as these may vary by season.

The site underwent a name change that reveals its shifting history: originally dedicated as Sant'Onofrio, it was later renamed for a different saint. This transformation shows how the purposes and devotions at this location evolved over the centuries.
