Royal Belgian Church of San Giuliano dei Fiamminghi

The Church of San Giuliano Ospitaliere dei Fiamminghi is a Catholic place of worship in Rome, in the Sant'Eustachio district, in via del Sudario.

The diakonia of San Giuliano dei Fiamminghi insists on this church. The church has an ancient origin, and seems to date back to the times of Pope Gregory II (8th century), when Flanders was converted to Christianity; it is in fact dedicated to the Flemish saint San Giuliano known as the Hospitaller.

Next to the church there was a hospital for the Flemish, which, for three days, could also accommodate non-ill people; a tradition states that Robert II of Flanders, who came to Rome in 1094 for the crusade, lived in that place which he then had restored.

However, the first historical mentions of this church are late and date back to the mid-15th century, specifically to 1444, the year in which the statutes and regulations of the pilgrim hospital were dated.

Over the course of the century, the hospital and church were restored and the church was enlarged and embellished in the following centuries: it assumed its current state in 1675.

With the French Revolution, the activity of the hospital for pilgrims ended, while the church was first managed by the Netherlands and then from Belgium, of which it is now the national church.
