Church of San Gioacchino in Prati
The Church of San Gioacchino in Prati was built at the request of Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903), from 1891 to 1911, although the church opened its doors in 1898. The church, built by the architect Raffaele Ingami, has three naves, in the shape of a Latin cross, separated by pink granite columns with bronze capitals. It appears sumptuously decorated with polychrome marble and metal furniture. The central door is flanked by two columns donated by the Tsar of Russia.
