Notre Dame Rome is located in Via Ostilia—in the heart of the Eternal City—one block from the Colosseum. The newly renovated, 32,000 square-foot facility serves as a hub supporting the academic, educational, and cultural mission of the University. ND Rome fosters research and graduate education and develops and maintains institutional relations with universities, educational foundations, and organizations in Italy, Europe, and the Mediterranean, as well as with the Holy See. Notre Dame Rome also hosts and organizes a rich variety of education abroad opportunities for students.
Notre Dame's Rome-based programs and classes, as well as events such as conferences, book launches, lecture series, and recitals, are held in this building.
