All Saints' Church, Rome, Anglican church in central Rome, Italy
All Saints' Church is an Anglican church in central Rome, built in the Gothic Revival style with pointed arches and tall vertical lines typical of 19th-century English ecclesiastical design. The stonework is carved in detail, giving the facade a texture that stands out clearly against the surrounding Roman buildings.
The church was established in the late 19th century to give the growing British community in Rome a permanent place for Anglican worship. It was one of several foreign religious institutions founded in the city during a period when many Europeans were settling there.
All Saints' serves the Anglican community of Rome and acts as a meeting point for English-speaking residents and visitors from many countries. Concerts and other events are regularly held here, drawing people who may have no particular religious connection to the place.
The church sits in central Rome and is easy to reach on foot from many parts of the city. Visiting in the morning tends to give the best light inside, as the sun comes in from the east and illuminates the stonework well.
The church was designed by George Edmund Street, the English architect also responsible for the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Street died before the building was completed, and his son finished the project in his place.
