San Gaetano is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in northern Rome, dedicated to Saint Cajetan.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The parish was set up in 1962 and put into the care of the Theatines, whose founder was Saint Cajetan.[3][4]

The church was built in 1975–79, the architect being Giorgio Pacini. It is cylindrical in shape.[5]

On 30 September 2023, Pope Francis made it a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest.[6]
