Sant'Atanasio a Via del Babuino is the Greek national church.
The church and the college next to it was founded by Pope Gregory XIII (1572–1585). It was designed by Giacomo della Porta. The church is also known as Sant'Atanasio dei Greci.
The church is adapted to the liturgical needs of the Byzantine Rite churches; most notably, it has an iconostasis. Mass is celebrated according to the Byzantine rite, but the church is in full communion with the Roman Catholic church.
