Centro Internazionale S. Alberto (CISA)
Constructed in 1889-1901 following the loss of the studium generale at nearby Traspontina with the occupation of Rome by Italian forces, Collegio di S. Alberto is directly under the jurisdiction of the Prior General. It has served the Order in many capacities: residence of the Prior General and General Council (1901-1966); the international college for general formation and study (1920-1967) liturgical center of the Order (1950-1965), center of the Third Order Carmelites (1901-1997), office of the postulator general (1901-1966 and 1983-1997), the Carmelite Institute (1951-currently), the international center for communications (CITOC) (1966-1972), and Edizioni Carmelitane (until 2008). It was the seat of all the General Chapters of the Order from 1907-1971. Finally, it continues to be used for hospitality and hosts lectures on a variety of topics for the entire Carmelite family.
