In a city so revered for its antiquity, it can be easy to forget that Rome has any modern buildings at all, least of all when the building in question is a church. Located in the Tor Tre Teste district and designed by Richard Meier, who was selected over other celebrated architects such as Frank Gehry in an international competition, this strikingly contemporary church is formed of curved white walls, which look like sails. It was designed and built over the period 1996-2003, to celebrate the dawn of the new millennium.
