Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola in Campo Marzio
Sant'Ignazio is a 17th‑/18th‑century Baroque Jesuit church in Rome, built as the chapel of the Collegio Romano and dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola. It is noted for its two-storey travertine façade and an interior rich with coloured marbles, sculptural altars and Andrea Pozzo's large-scale illusionistic frescoes and painted dome. The church remains an active place of worship and a landmark in the Piazza Sant'Ignazio.

As it stood in 1722
What Sant'Ignazio Church looked like in its prime.
A broad two‑storey Baroque travertine façade with heavy entablatures: three portal openings at ground level, a central arched window above, flanked by paired Corinthian columns and flat pilasters, large rolled volutes at the upper corners and a triangular pediment with sculptural relief topped by a metal cross and small statuary. The pale creamy stone contrasts with the modest neighbouring buildings; deep shadowed recesses under pediments and the carved inscription band run across the midsection. Scale is monumental yet urban, filling the small piazza.
