St Andrew's Church, Rome, Presbyterian church near Piazza della Repubblica, Rome, Italy.
St Andrew's Church is a Presbyterian place of worship in Rome, situated between Piazza della Repubblica and Palazzo del Quirinale. The four-level building features a main prayer space on the ground floor with a terrace above that offers views over the city.
The congregation formed in the 1860s near Spanish Steps, and the current building was completed in 1885 at its location between two important city structures. The building's design reflected the architectural requirements imposed by local authorities at the time.
The interior follows Presbyterian principles with a central pulpit and minimal furnishings, allowing the space to adapt to different ways of gathering and worshiping.
The building sits on Via XX Settembre and is easily accessible by public transport that serves central Rome. It is worth checking ahead or calling to confirm timing for services and activities, as schedules may vary throughout the week.
The building was designed on the outside to resemble a government ministry building, making it blend into the surrounding architecture of the area rather than stand out as a church. This design choice was a requirement set by city authorities in order to construct at this downtown location.
