Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Jesuits Filippo Terzi, the same architect behind the São Vicente, was commissioned by Jesuits to build this Renaissance church in 1574. Contradicting its plain exterior, the church is stunning and impressive within, housing a painted wood ceiling, eight side chapels full of Baroque art, and a museum with a large collection of Baroque silver and paintings from the 16th century.

The church is famed for one particular chapel: an 18th-century Chapel of St. John the Baptist by Luigi Vanvitelli that was commissioned in 1741 and assembled in Rome. Visitors can also explore valuable sacred relics the church is said to have such as a piece of wood from Jesus’ crib and a thorn from the crown of thorns.
