Waldensian Temple of Piazza Cavour

The Waldensian temple in Piazza Cavour was built between 1911 and 1913 and houses the headquarters of the Waldensian theological faculty. The construction of this second Waldensian temple in Rome (the first being the Waldensian Temple of Trevi) was made possible by the American widower John Stewart Kennedy, who in 1910 bought land on behalf of the Waldensian Evangelical Church. The church is the work of engineer Emanuele Rutelli and architect Paolo Bonci and is an eclectic mix of decorative elements from neo-Romanesque and Art Nouveau architecture.

Chiesa di San Girolamo dei Croati

The church of San Girolamo dei Croati a Ripetta, built in 1588-89, is the national church of the Croats in Rome. A community of refugees fleeing the Turks from Illyria and Slavonia had settled in the area overlooking the port of Ripetta since the 14th century. In 1453, Pope Nicholas V granted them the establishment of the Congregation of Saint Jerome of the Slavs. In the following century, Pope Sixtus V, who already owned the church, had it completely rebuilt by Martino Longhi the Elder between 1588 and 1589, adding a bell tower and rich furnishings.
