What you can expect

  • Step into one of Rome’s hidden Baroque gems with a visit to the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, renowned for its remarkable optical illusions.

During your exploration, you'll uncover the extraordinary faux dome, painted in impeccable perspective to deceive the eye, and the awe-inspiring ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo, which transforms the vault into an open sky.

Within the church, you'll encounter a distinctive mirror installation in the nave that allows you to appreciate the artwork without craning your neck. This mirror provides an opportunity to reflect alongside two magnificent frescoes behind you. It's an ideal spot for a truly original photograph; from this viewpoint, perspective becomes crucial, making both the Faux Dome and the Glory of St. Ignatius seem to explode out of the church’s ceiling.

You'll delve into the intriguing history of the Jesuit Order and its founder, St. Ignatius. An unforgettable journey for enthusiasts of art, architecture, and Rome’s best-kept secrets.
