CHURCH OF ST. THOMAS MORE IN ROME

The Church of St. Thomas More is a church in Rome, in the Tiburtino district, in Via dei Marrucini.

It was built by architect Giuseppe Gualandi in 1921, and consecrated in 1926, as a church to the convent of the Sisters helpers, and initially dedicated to Our Lady Help of Christians in Purgatory.

In 1974 the church became a parish and was dedicated to Thomas More, humanist author of the famous book Utopia, political and English martyr who refused to swear allegiance to King Henry VIII as head of the new Church of England.

The church is in neo-Gothic style with three naves, divided by pillars ending in Corinthian capitals; it has a cross vault and side chapels.
