Santa Croce alla Lungara, Church building in Trastevere district, Rome, Italy.

Santa Croce alla Lungara features a neoclassical single-nave interior layout paired with a double flight of stairs at its entrance on Via della Lungara.

Construction of the church started in 1619 with funding from the Duke of Bavaria and Cardinal Antonio Barberini, brother of Pope Urban VIII.

The high altar displays a crucifix by Francesco Troppa, who also created the Annunciation painting located on the right altar of the church.

For mass schedules and visiting details, visitors need to contact the Parrocchia di Santa Dorotea, which manages the church operations.

The attached cloister, originally a rehabilitation center for women, transformed into a women's prison from 1950 to 1979.
