I’m not a religious person by any means, but the beauty of the church is astounding. Outside of the Vatican, the ceilings of the church contain perhaps some of the most beautiful frescoes I’ve ever seen. Vibrant, moving, inspiring, each one is a sight to behold. I sat for at least an hour and just looked up… each piece of art is a masterpiece in its own right.
Not to be missed when in Rome

Une des rares églises situées en plein centre Rome dont l’entrée est gratuite ! Endroit magnifique avec des peintures qui valent le détour. À proximité du Panthéon, laissez vous tenter par un petit tour à l’intérieur

The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius (Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola in Campo Marzio) is a spectacular Baroque Roman Catholic church dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. Dedicated in 1650 … I am at a loss for words. It is easy to see why it is the favorite of both Popes and paupers alike. Unilocaler Noe B. called this church «a sensual delight,» but, for me, it goes beyond that — it speaks directly to the soul. Five-​plus Stars.

I studied architecture in Rome one year in college. In that time I was able to explore many of the places that are generally overlooked by tourists. They would rather spend their time throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain, or trying to imagine bloody gladiators fighting to the death in the skeletal remains of the Colosseum.
I lived very close to this church so it was was easy to make a detour to and from our design studios to pop inside Sant’ Ignazio. It was always a rewarding visual and spatial experience.
The interior of this Baroque church is a sensual delight. During the day it is a beautiful space, but it is even more spectacular during evening services. That is when everything seems to glow with a mystical opulence.

Location: Not too far from the Pantheon. I came across this church quite by accident and saw that the doors were open so naturally, I had to go investigate.
The place: Let’s be honest — is there any church in Rome that’s NOT worth a visit? Even the smallest church seems to be rich with beauty and history so my rule quickly became ‘If the door’s open, walk on in.’ I thought this church was quite beautiful and it reminded me a little of San Giovanni. This was one of those places that you can enter and immediately find relief from the hordes of tourists wandering around the Centro Storico. The church was surprisingly big, and had amazing ceilings. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
Price point: Free entry.

The Church is very close to the Pantheon. There is a lot of beautiful art work done inside the Church and make sure to look up as the ceiling was beautiful.
There is no entrance fee and make sure to visit it on your way to Pantheon or trivia fountain.

Don’t miss this church! You will be amazed by the art and opulence inside. It doesn’t look like that much from outside, so be sure not to miss this jewel box inside!

Wenn man auf dem Weg vom Pantheon zum Monumento Vittorio ist, kommt man fast schon zwangsläufig an diesem Sakralbau vorbei.
Von außen eigentlich nichts besonderes (nichts besonderes, da man von den anderen Eindrücken in Rom so erschlagen ist), haut es einen im Innenraum schier aus den Socken.
Die Decken sind über und über mit filigraner Malerei überseht und fast das gesamte Mittelschiff besteht aus einem gewaltigen Frsko, welches die Apotheose des Hl. Ignatius zeigt (hab ein Bild angehängt).
Hier noch ein Zitat aus der Wikpedia zum Deckenfresko für alle, die den Bau nach mir besuchen. Ich hab zwar drauf gestanden, mir aber nichts dabei gedacht:
Wikipedia zu Sant’Ignazio di Loyola in Campo Marzio, Stand 21.03.10:
«Sie [die Szenen des Fresko] sind perspektivisch gemalt, die Malerei setzt die Architektur fort, durch Scheinarchitektur und schwebend dargestellte Gruppen öffnet sich der Blick in die Decke quasi in das Unendliche. Der Heilige fährt in den Himmel über den damals bekannten vier Kontinenten. Im Boden der Kirche ist eine Marmorscheibe eingelassen, von dort (als dem Mittelpunkt der Perspektive) betrachtet ist es tatsächlich schwer zu erkennen, was Malerei und was reale Architektur ist.»
