Santi Martiri Coreani is a late 20th century collegiate and national church at Via degli Aldobrandeschi 124, in the west of the Gianicolense suburban district.
The dedication is to the Martyrs of Korea.
Status[]
This is the Korean national church in Rome, and is attached to the Pontifical Korean College.
History[]
The church was completed with the college in 2002.
Appearance[]
This is a low octagonal building, with the corners of the octagon chamfered (strictly speaking, this makes it an irregular hexadecagon).
Each long side features a blank wall in pink brick, with a strip of horizontal rectangular windows under the roofline and above a white cornice. Each chamfered corner features either a large rectangular window, or an entrance door in the same clear glass. These are flanked by a pair of pilaster buttresses in the same style as the walls.
The roof has a very slight slope, and is in eight sectors roofed in red composite which meet at a conical glass skylight.
The interior is apparently very simply decorated, and is all in white.
Access[]
The college is south of the Via Aurelia, and next to the Aurelia train station. Bus number 892 from the Baldo degli Ubaldi metro station on the Linea A stop here also.
Liturgy[]
Mass is celebrated on Sundays at 10:30, according to "Baobab" (July 2018).
