Overview
Step into one of Rome’s hidden Baroque treasures with this visit to the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, famous for its stunning optical illusions. During the visit you will discover the incredible fake dome, painted in perfect perspective to fool the eye and the breathtaking ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo, transforming the vault into an open sky. Inside the church we will see a unique mirror installation in the nave that lets you admire the artwork without straining your neck. The mirror gives you the opportunity to reflect alongside the two stunning frescoes behind you. It’s the perfect spot for a truly original photo, from this angle, perspective plays a key role, and both the Fake Dome and the Glory of St. Ignatius appear to burst out of the church’s ceiling. You will learn the fascinating story of the Jesuit Order and its founder, St. Ignatius. An unforgettable experience for lovers of art, architecture, and Rome’s best-kept secrets.
