Lövsta (also known as Roma kyrkby) is a locality on the Swedish island of Gotland, with 261 inhabitants in 2010.
In 1995 the locality known as Roma was divided by Statistics Sweden into a part with the tentative name of "Roma kyrkby" (pop. 277) and the remaining part that was referred to as Roma (pop. 902). It was given the name "Romakloster" as a postal address to avoid confusion with the Italian capital.[2] Some confusion is caused by the fact that Lövsta/Roma kyrkby has been referred to as "Roma" in the statistical figures since 2000.[3]
The medieval Roma Church is in Lövsta.[4], Roma Church belongs to Roma parish in Romaklosters pastorat.[5] [6]
