The church of San Patrizio in Villa Ludovisi was built in 1908 to a design by Aristide Leonori. It is in the neo-Renaissance style with Romanesque-Byzantine motifs on its façade. San Patrizio a Villa Ludovisi was the national church of Ireland until it became the national church of the United States of America in 2017. Since August 2017, it has been under the pastoral care of the Paulist Fathers, a religious order originally from and based in New York.
The Basilica of St. Camillus de Lellis was built at the request of Pope Pius X (1903-1914) on the project of the architect Tullio Passarelli. Construction began in 1906. Consecrated as a church and erected as a parish in 1910, it was entrusted to regular clerics, the Camillians. The basilica is in neo-Romanesque style with Gothic influences.
The Church of San Lorenzo da Brindisi is a deconsecrated church in Rome, built in 1912 by the architect Giovanni Battista Milani for the Capuchin Fathers, who had their General Curia and an International College built next to the church. In 1968, the Capuchin Fathers abandoned the building complex, which was sold to a real estate company, and moved to the Corpus Christi Church. The church, while retaining its original exterior, was converted inside into a conference hall.
Santa Maria della Vittoria is a baroque church built between 1608 and 1620, according to the plans of the architect Carlo Maderno (1556-1629). The building was entrusted to the Discalced Carmelites. The church, originally dedicated to St. Paul, was renamed Our Lady Queen of Victory after the victory of Catholic troops over Protestant bohemians at the Battle of the White Mountain (1620).
