San Salvatore alle Coppelle (Chiesa nazionale Romania)

Built in the eleventh century over a pre-existing church known as San Salvatore de Pietate, the current church was reconsecrated, following extensive structural works, by Pope Celestine III and given the name San Salvatore alle Coppelle in 1196. According to tradition, the original structure had been built on the site of the house of St Abbasia, a Roman noblewoman who had bequeathed her estate to the Church.

In the seventeenth century, after having been in the care of the Università dei Sellai (the University of Saddlemakers) for around three centuries, the church was entrusted to the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament of Divine Perseverance, who provided assistance to pilgrims and foreign nationals who had fallen ill in nearby lodgings. In 1914 it became the national church of Romania, and today the liturgy is still celebrated there in the Romanian Byzantine rite.
