The Sant’Anna al Laterano Church is located in the Via Merulana in Rome, about halfway between the basilicas of Santa Maria Maggiore and St. John in Lateran.
A brief history of the church of Sant’Anna al Laterano
The Chiesa di Sant’Anna in Laterano was built in the 19th century. It was consecrated in 1887 and renovated in 1927.
The facade of the church was designed in a neo-Renaissance style.
The interior consists of a single nave. It is lit by a window in the ceiling and is decorated with angels in the Art Nouveau style. The window ireplaces a 19th century ceiling painting that had the “Coronation of the Most Holy Mary” as its theme.
The tomb of Anna Rosa Gattorno, founder of the Congregation of St. Anne, is located inside the church.

The convent to the left of the church has one, rather unusual, stained glass window.
