The church Ignatius in Rome is a beautiful example of a baroque temple. Its architecture refers to the Il Gesù church built half a century earlier - a prototype of many Jesuit temples. Inside, you can admire the illusionist frescoes and paintings by Jesuit Andrea Pozz. The most famous is the "Apothesis of St. Ignatius' and the false dome painted on canvas (in fact the church has no domes).
Visiting the church of St. Ignacy is also worth paying attention to the tombstone of Gregory V from multi-colored marble and the beautiful statue of St. Ignatius. The temple itself was designed by Carlo Maderno in 1626 on the order of Cardinal Ludovisi (later Pope Gregory XV). This architect was also the main designer and contractor of the facade of the basilica of St. Peter, one of the best known representatives of the early Roman Baroque.
