Santissima Trinità, Collegiate church in Genzano di Roma, Italy.
Santissima Trinità is a neoclassical collegiate church in Genzano di Roma with a striking facade divided into three sections, where the central part rises higher and is flanked by two column orders in Tuscan and Ionic styles. Inside, it holds eleven altars and several chapels, including one dedicated to Saint Thomas of Villanova.
Construction started in 1781 under architect Giuseppe Camporese and was completed in 1808 to serve Genzano's growing population. The lengthy building period shows the significant effort required to construct this neoclassical structure.
The church was named for the Holy Trinity and reflects the religious importance this devotion held for Genzano's community. Its many altars and chapels inside show how the space served different forms of prayer and personal worship.
The church is open to visitors during the day and welcomes people outside of service times. It is best to plan a quiet visit when no masses are scheduled, allowing you to explore the interior comfortably.
A carved wooden pulpit inside features a golden relief depicting the handing over of Saint Benedict's monastic rules, often overlooked by visitors. The apse also holds an oil painting from the 1800s showing the Holy Trinity, quietly positioned at the back of the building.
