Chiesa di Sant'Alfonso all'Esquilino
Historic site · Esquilino, Italy
A neo-Gothic rectory church on via Merulana, held with its convent by the Redemptorists. The brick and travertine façade carries a portico of three doors, a polychrome mosaic of the Virgin of Perpetual Succour in the tympanum, a Carrara marble statue of the Redeemer on the tympanum's cusp, and a rose window. No source states its opening hours, so none are given here.
History
