Interior of Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola in central Rome, Italy. April 21, 2026

Built to honor St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, it exemplifies Baroque theatrical design. The church is famous for its 17th-century trompe-l'œil ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo that creates the illusion of a dome. The ceiling is actually flat, but painted with perspective to look like a vast, domed structure.
