Even though I have visited Rome 3 times I have never visited this church .I am glad I did this time . The top is spectacular!! It is like sistina chapel there is a big mirror where you can see the top without looking up

The church is amazing, and the painting on the ceiling is breathtaking! You can pay 1€ to get a special picture in the mirror facing the ceiling. However, the church became popular on the internet, so it was very crowded, and the line for the mirror was huge, so be prepared!

Absolutely stunning church, definitely recommend a stop here. However, if you're going for the infamous mirror photo ... GO AT NIGHT! We stopped twice during the day and found a 40-minute queue. But when we went at 10PM, we were the only people there. The ceiling lights up when you put the €1 fee, so it doesn't matter that it's at night, and you have the entire church to yourself. Definitely more magical.

This is one of my favourite Baroque churches in Rome. It is located at Piazza Sant'Ignazio just a couple minutes walk east of Pantheon. Built in the 17th-century, the church is ornately decorated with a fine facade, latin cross interior layout with heavily gilded, marble pillars, side chapels, main altar and apse. Highlights include Andrea Pozzo's masterpiece ceiling fresco 'Trompe l'ceil' which may be one of the finest in the world. There are mirrors on the ground that you can use to view the ceiling fresco without staining your neck. It is remarkable. As is Pozzo's illusionary false dome fresco, another masterpiece worth spending time to enjoy while viewing the interior of St. Ignazio di Loyola. In the end, this is a beautiful church but it can be very crowded inside with fellow tourists so be patient and consider an early morning visit if you want to see the church more comfortably.

The ceiling is so stunning, you stand and look up in awe. The entire length of the roof is flawless. As you stand at look at the detail on the arches above, the image blends to show no edges or corners. It is simply spectacular

The church was so pretty! The ceiling was gorgeous looking through the mirror but I wish I was told beforehand that it cost €1 to use the mirror so I could have been prepared. If you don’t have the money, the mirror will not work and the lights on the ceiling will dim so it’s not as great for pictures. It was also very busy since this church went viral on TikTok. Other than that, the church was beautiful :)

Incredible building and artwork in this church! The Trompe L’oeil ceiling by Andrea Pozzo is a masterpiece. It’s free, quiet and you are not hassled or moved on. You can sit in a pew and contemplate the amazing artwork as long as you like. Artfully placed mirror so you can take a picture of yourself with the ceiling in the background. The rest of the sculptures and artwork are amazing too. It’s very very ornate but incredibly beautiful. Truly an underrated and undiscovered gem

This is a "must" see church in Rome, the ceiling art is breathtaking, art-work on another level, still surprised it's free to enter. It was so good we visited twice! As with all churches it's an oasis of calm and reflection
