Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola, Rome

An image is worth a thousand words. Here you have three thousand words. These pictures say more than I could say. The details in this church are unbelievable. It is hard to belive people were able to build such a beautiful church in 1650. I recommend reading a bit about this church before visiting it!

I am not usually one for visiting Churches (or any religious venue) but we ended up popping into this one by accident and I am glad we did. It is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful structure covered in mesmerising paintings from the ground to the top of the dome. It had my 4-year-old asking me how on earth they managed to to make such a beautiful building without cranes and diggers- I had no answer other than to say ‘magic’. 😂 Needless to say, well worth a quick visit in between Pantheon and Trevi Fountains.

Lovely little church with interesting paintings. Interesting to see the flat-domed ceiling. Helpful guide gave us a free audio-guide in English to help guide us around the church, and give us more information than we would otherwise have.

I highly recommend you not to miss this church! Famous for its ceiling mural and its optical illusion, the church also offers a spacous inner with wonderful sculptures. You can spend 10 minutes or 2 hours it's up to you, but in this case devote as much time to this place as possible.

This church helps us to feel the richness of spirituality. I say and experienced it. While praying felt the powerful thought like this was the church once filled with religious and could hear the echoing voices of prayer , for Jesuits it's an important church which strengthen their founders desire of serving the lose souls in the city ....
