Sant'Apollonia was the church of a convent of Franciscan nuns in Trastevere, located in the piazza of the same name, opposite Santa Margherita just north of Santa Maria in Trastevere.
It was built or rebuilt in 1582, and apparently originally had the dedication "Santa Maria della Oliva".
Romans with toothache used to pray here for relief, since St Apollonia was a martyr of Alexandria in Egypt who had had her teeth pulled out with pliers before being burned.
After the expropriation of the nunnery by the State, the church was demolished and replaced by an apartment block in 1888. However, some old masonry from the nunnery seems to have been incorporated into the buildings on the site.
