Chiesa di Sant’Anna dei Palafrenieri, Vatican city

The Chiesa di Sant’Anna dei Palafrenieri is a historic Roman Catholic church located just inside Vatican City near the Porta Sant’Anna entrance. Built in the late 16th century and administered by the Augustinian order, this parish church has served generations of pilgrims, Vatican workers, and local faithful, preserving a rich liturgical tradition and artistic heritage linked to the Holy See.

Today, Sant’Anna dei Palafrenieri functions as a pontifical parish church with regular Masses throughout the week, including services in English for international visitors. Its serene spiritual environment makes it a meaningful stop for pilgrims seeking worship outside of St. Peter’s Basilica while still enjoying easy access within Vatican City.
