About Santi Gioacchino e Anna ai Monti

Santi Gioacchino ed Anna ai Monti ('Saints Joachim and Anne on the Hills') is a church on the Via Monte Polacco in Rome. Pope Clement XIII demolished the Minim monastery in 1760 to build the current edifice. The church's architecture is formed on a Greek cross plan, with a central dome. In 1781, Pope Pius VI himself consecrated the church building. Its façade has four pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The high altar has a painting of the Madonna, with her parents, St Anne and St Joachim.
