Santa Maria Annunziata delle Turchine, Baroque former church in Monti district, Rome, Italy.

The Santa Maria Annunziata delle Turchine church features a main altar adorned with three paintings by Giuseppe Ghezzi depicting the Annunciation, Saint Paula, and Saint Gertrude.

Founded in 1675 by Camilla Orsini, the church remained active until 1872 when the associated monastery closed, leading to the relocation of its nuns.

The name 'Turchine' originates from the specific blue color of the religious habits worn by the nuns of the Order of the Most Holy Annunciation.

The building stands at coordinates 41.89608° North and 12.495801° East, in Via Francesco Sforza within the Monti neighborhood of Rome.

The structure now serves as the headquarters for the Rome provincial section of the Italian National Parachutists Association.
