Pray, study and grow in the center of international Benedictine monasticism

Collegio Sant’Anselmo provides a variety of sacred, private, communal and active spaces to help our residents achieve their spiritual, intellectual and personal goals.

Live in the heart of Rome

Located on the summit of the historic Aventine Hill, Collegio Sant’Anselmo will put you in the Central Historic District of Ancient Rome, with ready access to transportation throughout Italy and Europe.

Sant’Anselmo hosts two chapels and the Church.

The Abbot’s Chapel and the Glass Chapel are available for private or small Masses, or simply a quiet spot to pray. The community prays the Liturgy of the Hours and celebrates the Communal Mass in the Church.

Our private rooms are simple and monastic. Modern and complete.

There is plenty of closet storage, a sink and up-to-date radiator heat. The workstation includes a telephone, ethernet jack and wifi.

The community takes their meals in a 130-seat refectory. Small meeting rooms are available for reservation. Grand, open rooms, such as the internal students’ room, are available for larger meetings.

The gardens of Collegio Sant’Anselmo include a soccer field, a swimming pool and parking for bicycles.

The exercise room is equipped with the latest cardio and strength-training equipment from Technogym, including a treadmill, exercise bike, elliptical machine, weight machine, pull-up/abdominal-crunch tower, incline bench, free weights, bars, dumbbells, kettlebells and yoga mats.
