Sant'Elena Church, Renaissance Revival church on Via Casilina, Rome, Italy.

Sant'Elena Church is a church building featuring Renaissance Revival architecture located on Via Casilina in Rome. The structure displays symmetrical proportions with classical architectural details typical of this style.

The building was completed in 1914 and consecrated in 1916 to commemorate 16 centuries since the Edict of Milan legitimized Christianity in 313. This timing shows how the project was linked to marking this religious milestone.

The dedication to Helena, mother of Constantine, is visible in the rose window above the main portal, whose polychrome glass depicts the saint. Inside, the apse fresco painted by Ettore Ballerini in 1930 shows the Invention of the Cross, the legend linked to Helena's pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

The church stands on the urban stretch of Via Casilina in the Prenestino-Labicano quarter, set back behind an iron railing. The travertine cross commemorating vicar Raffaele Melis is on the railway boundary wall where Via del Mandrione meets Via Casilina, a short walk from the entrance. The facade faces the street, so it is seen from the pavement.

A travertine cross adorns the building in memory of vicar Raffaele Melis, who died in 1943 while helping people during a World War II bombing. This marker preserves the memory of this selfless act from a difficult period.
