Chiesa di Santa Rita da Cascia in Campitelli, Baroque church near Teatro di Marcello, Rome, Italy
The building features a prominent Greek cross layout with an extended apse and decorative lesenes adorning its white stone facade.
Architect Carlo Fontana constructed the church in 1665 to replace San Biagio de Mercato, an eleventh-century structure at the location.
The church received a new dedication to Saint Rita of Cascia in 1900, following her canonization and growing devotion among Roman citizens.
The structure now operates as a municipal venue at the intersection of Via Montanara and Via del Teatro di Marcello for exhibitions.
Workers dismantled the entire church in 1928 and reconstructed it in 1940 to accommodate the development of Via del Mare.
