The Pontifical Greek College of St. Athanasius (Italian: Pontificio Collegio Greco di Sant’Atanasio, Greek: Ποντιφίκιο Ελληνικό Κολλέγιο Αγίου Αθανασίου) is a Pontifical College in Rome that observes the Byzantine rite. It was founded in 1577 by Pope Gregory XIII as a college for the training of priests and seminarians of the Arbëreshë people, who profess the Greek-Byzantine rite. More recently, they were joined by seminarians from anywhere in Europe or the Mediterranean where the Byzantine rite was practiced: Melkite Arabs, Greeks, Greek-Catholic Albanians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Belarusians, Slovaks; in past centuries, before the establishment of autonomous colleges, also Ukrainian and Ruthenian students. It also hosted representatives of the Orthodox world. Its patron saint is Saint Athanasius. The college Church of Sant'Atanasio is also a titular church.
