Chiesa del Gesu is an excellent church. The disappointing thing is that it is absolutely difficult to convey the beauty of the artwork with a camera (without using a flash.) I actually ended up visiting here twice, the photos were slightly better the second time...More
Very beautiful church where there is a mirror so we can admire the huge painting on the ceiling. At 5.30 pm there is a 20 minutes ceremony where the statue of Ignatius, which is located behind the painting, is revealed. At this church we can...More
This is a must see Church as it contains the moral remains of the Jesuit founder Ignacio Loyola and other famous Jesuits. It has some eye popping frescos and important relics for example the arm of St. Francis Xavier. Very near the Pantheon.

The Gesu is very close to the Pantheon and the Santa Maria sopra Minerva, so a special trip is not needed and it is worth looking at. The Gesu is the very first Jesuit-dedicated church so it has interest from that perspective; and the interior,...More
This is the first Jesuit church and it has a beautiful painted ceiling that you should check out if you are in the area. Nice feature is that there is a mirror you can use to view the ceiling so you don’t have to strain...More
