San Timoteo, Modern Catholic church in Casal Palocco, Rome, Italy.
San Timoteo is a modern church building in the Casal Palocco area of southwestern Rome. It features a square structure with rounded corners and a distinctive pagoda-like roof that rises above the surrounding neighborhood.
Construction of the church began in 1968 on land donated by a local development company and the building was consecrated in 1970. This designation gave it greater importance within Rome's church structure.
The church serves the local community as a gathering place where neighbors come together for worship and parish events that connect them to their Catholic faith.
The church is located at Via Apelle 1 with parking available nearby on Viale Prassilla. As it sits in a residential area, visitors should plan their visit during regular opening hours.
In 2015 the church received the designation as a titular church, a special status within Rome's church hierarchy. This rare honor allows a cardinal to serve as its protector and spiritual guardian.
