Built with three naves in a Neo-Gothic style, this church was consecrated in 1911 and then closed during the Second World War. Once reopened, it became a reference point for the American community, so much so that in 1992 it was in the spotlight of the international press, because it hosted the wedding of David Bowie and Iman Abdulmajid. In addition to Anglican celebrations, the Florentine Old Catholic community also worships here. The church also houses two libraries, one of which is for children.
