San Filippo Neri is a deconsecrated church in Rome, important for historical and artistic reasons. The church, facing the Via Giulia, was built during the Baroque age. San Filippo was supposed to be demolished together with the surrounding neighborhood in the late 1930s, but due to the onset of WWII the demolition was halted. Abandoned and desecrated after the war, it has been restored in 2000, but maintains a secular usage and is not accessible. Read more on Wikipedia
