Welcome to the
website of the Venerable English College,
a seminary in Rome for the formation of
priests for the dioceses of England
and Wales.
The seminary was
founded in 1579, and there has been an English presence on the site in Via
di Monserrato since the establishment of the Hospice of St Thomas in 1362,
making us the oldest English institution outside England.
For more information,
please click the seminary and history navigation buttons above.

The English College
is also the owner of Villa Palazzola.
This former
Franciscan monastery, built on the site of a Roman villa, occupies a
dramatically beautiful position above Lake
Albano in the Alban Hills, 18
miles from the centre of Rome.
As well as being a
retreat centre for the English College, the villa also welcomes visitors on
retreat or pilgrimage to Rome
throughout the year. For further information, see the Palazzola website.
