Sacro Cuore di Gesù a Villa Lante, Gothic Revival church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.
Sacro Cuore di Gesù a Villa Lante is a church in Trastevere featuring Gothic Revival style with pointed arches and detailed architectural elements throughout. The building combines external and internal Gothic details into a unified composition.
Architect Gerolamo Vantaggi designed the church without payment, asking only for perpetual prayers and masses for his soul before completion in 1843. This generous contribution shaped the founding story of the place.
The church functions as the provincial headquarters for the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rome and houses significant artworks by Pietro Gagliardi. The space holds meaning for members of this religious community who gather here.
The church is located in Trastevere at Via San Francesco di Sales 18 and is accessible on foot from central areas. Visitors should note it is an active place with regular religious activities.
The church was the first in Rome dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and stands as the earliest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the city. This combination makes it a special place in Rome's local architectural and religious history.
