The Church of St. Ignace is located near the Pantheon. We didn't plan on visiting it on purpose, but we stopped by the Pantheon on the way... And we saw a queue of tourists who were standing horizontally, with a large rectangular mirror installed with a tilt. Why were you standing there? - And in order to take a selfie against the background of the painted vault! The author of the murals of the vault of the central nave is the artist, mathematician, sculptor Andrea Pozzo. The length of the church is 81 meters and the width is 43 meters. Although the fresco "only" decorates the central nave, its area is exceeds 2000 square meters. It is made on a flat ceiling, but due to the voluminous, almost 3D painting, the ceiling seems vaulted. This is something incredible. We sat on a bench under the pseudo-dome, created by a genius craftsman who was ahead of his time, and looked at the murals of the vault for a long time. Despite the fact that we are already fed up with Roman churches because of their huge number, we will remember visiting THIS church for a long time!

Among the countless churches in Rome, this one is worth a visit. The most interesting story of the creation by the Jesuits, optical illusions inside and models of temples from different countries around the temple of all religions, symbolizing that, despite all cultural differences, God is one for all.

It's just a beautiful cathedral. Amazing ceiling decoration. The scale of the building is impressive.

All the temples of Rome are beautiful. You can only come to see the old temples.

It is striking in perspective. Much more interesting than the Pantheon.

Brothers and sisters go to the temple very much, do not forget the spiritual blessing, a strong aura and in general the presence of the Lord God is felt

I really liked the church with a false dome (deception of vision). When I was in Rome, this church was shown to us by a free guide to Rome. Super! She probably would have passed by herself. Although any church in Rome is worthy.
