The Church of Casalpalocco!! Such a beautiful church with a renovated tower bell!! The church is new and has a big space and oratory!! Large parking area and beautiful gardens! 👌🇮🇹🏛️
(Translated by Google) The Church of San Timoteo, located in the Casal Palocco neighborhood of Rome, represents a notable example of modern religious architecture. Built between 1968 and 1970 based on a design by the architect Luigi Vagnetti, it stands on land donated by the Società Generale Immobiliare. The official consecration took place on 22 February 1970 by the cardinal vicar Angelo Dell'Acqua. The structure of the church stands out for its square plan with rounded corners and a pagoda-shaped roof, characterized by glazed gables on each side. This configuration is supported by four large diagonal masonry arches, which support a central lantern, giving the building a harmonious and innovative appearance. The interior of the church offers a surface area of ​​approximately 700 square meters, with a capacity to accommodate approximately 800 faithful. In addition to the main nave, there is a presbytery, side chapels, a baptistery and a chapel for weekday functions. On the sides of the presbytery, in an elevated position, there are the organ and the choir, elements that enrich the liturgical experience. A distinctive element is the isolated bell tower, made of reinforced concrete, which reaches a height of 43.25 metres, making it visible from various points of the flat area of ​​Casal Palocco. Since February 14, 2015, the Church of San Timoteo has been elevated to cardinal status, with Cardinal Arlindo Gomes Furtado as its first holder. For the faithful and visitors, the parish offers numerous pastoral services and community activities. The times of the celebrations are available on the official website of the parish. The Church of San Timoteo represents a spiritual and architectural point of reference in the Roman panorama, integrating tradition and modernity in a lively and welcoming community context.

La consacrazione ufficiale avvenne il 22 febbraio 1970 ad opera del cardinale vicario Angelo Dell'Acqua. La struttura della chiesa si distingue per la pianta quadrata con angoli smussati e una copertura a forma di pagoda, caratterizzata da timpani vetrati su ciascun lato. Questa configurazione è sostenuta da quattro grandi archi diagonali in muratura, che sorreggono un lanternino centrale, conferendo all'edificio un aspetto armonioso e innovativo. L'interno della chiesa offre una superficie di circa 700 metri quadrati, con una capacità di accoglienza per circa 800 fedeli. Oltre alla navata principale, sono presenti il presbiterio, cappelle laterali, un battistero e una cappella per le funzioni feriali. Ai lati del presbiterio, in posizione sopraelevata, si trovano l'organo e la cantoria, elementi che arricchiscono l'esperienza liturgica. Un elemento distintivo è il campanile isolato, realizzato in cemento armato, che raggiunge un'altezza di 43,25 metri, rendendolo visibile da vari punti del comprensorio pianeggiante di Casal Palocco. Dal 14 febbraio 2015, la Chiesa di San Timoteo è stata elevata a titolo cardinalizio, con il cardinale Arlindo Gomes Furtado come primo titolare. Per i fedeli e i visitatori, la parrocchia offre numerosi servizi pastorali e attività comunitarie. Gli orari delle celebrazioni sono disponibili sul sito ufficiale della parrocchia. La Chiesa di San Timoteo rappresenta un punto di riferimento spirituale e architettonico nel panorama romano, integrando tradizione e modernità in un contesto comunitario vivace e accogliente.
