San Gaetano is a modern parish church at Via Tuscania, near where the Via Flaminia Nuova and the Via Cassia Nuova diverge in the district of Tor di Quinto in the north of the city. The postal address is Via Poggio Martino 1.
The parish is administered by the Theatines, whose founder was St Cajetan.
The church was completed in 1979 to a circular plan. It is a squat cylinder with a slightly raised flat roof allowing for a narrow strip of windows (rather like a pill-box with a loose lid), and a short flechette on top bearing a cross. The exterior walls are in pink brick, and the eaves of the roof are in dull red.
