Chiesa russa di San Nicola Taumaturgo, Eastern Orthodox church in Castro Pretorio district, Rome, Italy.

The Chiesa russa di San Nicola Taumaturgo is an Orthodox church in the Castro Pretorio district made of brick with traditional Eastern architectural elements. The building stands out in Rome's landscape with its distinctive forms and serves as an active center for the Russian Orthodox community.

An imperial decree of 1803 planned a Greek-Russian church for the Roman mission, but the chapel of St Nicholas was consecrated only in 1823 and moved between rented palazzi until 1932. That year it was installed in the Palazzo Chernyshev on Via Palestro, bequeathed to the parish in 1897 by Princess Maria Chernysheva; the architect was Prince V. A. Volkonsky. The parish belonged to the St Petersburg diocese and was funded by the Foreign Ministry, and from 1867 to 1870 services stopped during a rupture with the Holy See.

The parish keeps the Russian Orthodox calendar of services in a church consecrated on 10 April 1932, whose fittings were carried over from the earlier embassy chapel. Among the donors for its furnishing were Princess S. N. Baryatinskaya, Princess S. V. Gagarina and Queen Elena of Savoy, and the Serbian and Bulgarian embassies gave material support.

The church is located at Via Palestro 69/71 and welcomes visitors interested in attending Orthodox services or exploring the building. Visitors should check service times and observe respectful behavior during ceremonies.

The church occupies the ground floor of Palazzo Chernyshev at Via Palestro, a mansion bequeathed to the parish by Princess Maria Chernysheva in her 1897 will; the parish inherited it in 1931 and consecrated the new church there on 10 April 1932. The iconostasis and furnishings were carried over from the old embassy church.
