Wedding at deconsacrated church of S.Maria in Tempulo Rome

Civil wedding at deconsecrated S.Maria in Tempulo church – Rome

In Rome, near the Baths of Caracalla, there is the deconsecrated Church of Santa Maria in Tempulo, which the Municipality of Rome makes available to couples to celebrate their marriage with a civil ceremony.

The name itself, “in Tempulo,” evokes the ancient presence of a pagan temple that once stood at this location. The church, with its Romanesque architecture and its frescoes dating back to the Middle Ages, offers a snapshot of the artistic and religious evolution of Rome. The origins of Santa Maria in Tempulo date back to the late 6th century when a Greek religious community built a small oratory dedicated to St. Agatha at this site. Located in the park in front of the Baths of Caracalla, it is one of the venues in the Capital where couples can join in marriage with a civil ceremony. In Rome, in addition to the deconsecrated Church of Santa Maria in Tempulo, there are other locations where civil marriages can take place.
