ENGLISH
If you make a right turn from Gunduliceva Poljana, you'll run into a long set of baroque stairs designed by Pietro Passalacqua and reminiscent of Rome's Spanish Steps. The stairs lead up from Uz Jezuite to the Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Dubrovnik's largest house of worship. The stairs were severely damaged in the 1991-92 siege of the city, but they have been restored. They end at the 1658 Jesuit College (Collegium Ragusinum), the school where many of Ragusa's greatest scholars were educated. The college is next door to the baroque church, which was modeled after Rome's Chiesa del Gesu, the mother church of the Jesuit order. Dubrovnik's single-nave structure was designed by Jesuit architect Andrea Pozzo, who worked for the order building Jesuit churches throughout Europe. The Dubrovnik church was completed in 1725 and decorated by Spanish artist Gaetano Garcia according to Pozzo's plan, which included frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. Ignatius along the semicircular divided apse. The church's bell is said to be the oldest in Dubrovnik.

CASTELLANO
La iglesia de San Ignacio de Loyola fue construída entre los años 1.667 y 1.725 por el arquitecto Ignazzio Pozzo. Como todas las iglesias jesuíticas de la época, es una copia de la iglesia de San Igancio de Roma. Su estilo es una mezcla de todas las características de la Contrareforma (líneas curvas, columnas, pilastras, frontones, cúpula, molduras y cornisas interiores). Cuenta con una magnífica escalinata de acceso, muy similar a la de la Plza. de España de Roma y en su interior podemos contemplar magníficos frescos murales, obra del siciliano Gaetano Garcia y la rica ornamentación de toda la iglesia, destacando la Capilla Mayor y la cúpula.
