Tempio Valdese di Roma, Protestant temple near Piazza Cavour, Rome, Italy
The Waldensian Temple exhibits a white facade with two towers and stands prominently near the Vatican, constructed using reinforced concrete in 1911.
The construction of this Protestant church faced opposition from Pope Pius X, who repeatedly attempted to prevent its establishment through appeals to Rome's mayor.
The temple interior features Art Nouveau decorations by Paolo Paschetto, including stained glass windows and a large mosaic in the apse with biblical themes.
The building contains a theology faculty, the Claudiana bookstore, and facilities for various community activities including Sunday school and youth programs.
The wooden pulpit displays references to John Calvin, Martin Luther, and two Italian pre-reformers: Arnold of Brescia and Girolamo Savonarola.
