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

Santa Croce alla Lungara is a church in Trastevere with a neoclassical interior arranged as a single wide hall. The entrance on Via della Lungara is marked by a double staircase that leads up to the main doors.

The church was built in 1619 with subsidies from the Duke of Bavaria and Cardinal Antonio Barberini, brother of Pope Urban VIII. The adjoining convent was founded in 1615 by the Carmelite Domenico di Gesù e Maria as a house to remove women of disreputable life from sin. In the 19th century Virginio Vespignani enlarged the convent, which kept its function as a redemption and rehabilitation house.

The high altar now holds a Crucifix by Francesco Troppa, who also painted the Annunciation on the right altar; the earlier painting of Jesus carrying the cross was replaced. A Mary Magdalene by Ciccio da Napoli is another work kept here. The name Buon Pastore comes from the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Angers, who ran the church and cloister in the 19th century.

The church stands at Via della Lungara 19 in Trastevere, and the double flight of steps from the street leads up to the entrance. The former cloister next door, enlarged by Virginio Vespignani in the 19th century, now houses the Casa Internazionale delle Donne.

The attached cloister was first a rehabilitation center for women, then served as a women's prison from 1950 to 1979. This dual purpose shows how the space evolved across different periods of modern history.
