San Paolo alle Tre Fontane
San Paolo alle Tre Fontane, Renaissance church in Ardeatino district, Rome, Italy.
San Paolo alle Tre Fontane is a Renaissance church in the Ardeatino district of Rome, built on a site of early Christian devotion. The building features three monumental structures that mark the location associated with an important event in Christian tradition.
The church was rebuilt in 1599 by architect Giacomo della Porta under the commission of Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini on the site of an earlier structure. The reconstruction was part of a broader effort to restore and enhance Christian holy sites during that period.
The church is known for its polychrome marble work and porphyry columns that visitors see inside. A painting based on Guido Reni's Crucifixion decorates the space and connects prayer with artistic beauty.
The building sits at Via delle Acque Salvie 1 and is part of the Tre Fontane Abbey complex, which is easy to access from the city. Visitors should allow time to explore the grounds, as the site offers multiple spaces and a quiet outdoor area.
Three separate springs emerged here with different temperatures, flowing until 1950. The hot, lukewarm, and cold sources disappeared later, but their memory shapes the site's meaning today.
