Maria Regina Pacis Church, Catholic church in Gallaratese district, Milan, Italy.
Maria Regina Pacis Church is a modern church building in the Gallaratese district featuring a polygonal prism form with exposed brick walls and a glass entrance facade. The interior houses a single rhomboidal nave with a weekday chapel and baptismal font positioned on opposite sides of the entry.
Archbishop Montini established the parish in 1961 to serve the expanding Gallaratese district, with construction completed in 1966. The building arose during Milan's post-war growth period as part of the city's effort to provide religious facilities for new neighborhoods.
The stained glass windows created by artist Ernesto Bergagna fill the interior with abstract geometric patterns in green and blue tones. These windows shape the overall mood of the space and reflect the church's modern approach to sacred design.
Entry is through the glass entrance facade, which allows natural light to guide visitors through the interior layout. The compact interior space is clearly organized so visitors can easily locate and access all main areas.
The architectural design by Monsignor Valerio Vigorelli demonstrates how church design evolved during Milan's post-war urban transformation. The building serves as an example of how religious architecture adapted to serve new city quarters and reflect changing approaches to sacred space.
