Scots College in Rome moving
Source: Pontifical Scots College
The Pontifical Scots College in Rome is preparing to end seminarian formation on the Via Cassia, on the outskirts of Rome, where it has been since 1964, as it looks towards a new future in the city.
As no suitable building has been identified yet for the College, the Pontifical Beda College has generously offered to provide space for the Scots students while the search for a new College building continues. It is anticipated that the Scots will be residence for the next academic year.
The current building is now considered too remote from the centre of the city, making travel to the universities where seminarians attend classes time consuming and inconvenient.
There are currently 10 seminarians studying at the Scots College.
