The Church of the Gesù, or by its real name "Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù all'Argentina" is an absolute masterpiece. It's very near Piazza Venezia in Rome. It is the mother church of the order of the Society of Jesus (or Jesuits). It is said to be the church with the first true baroque facade and it has inspired the architecture of countless churches, specially Jesuit churches, all around the world. It is truly an example of baroque architecture. Inside, the architecture is breathtaking. There are also many magnificent frescos on the ceilings with its many "trompe l'oeil". One of the must sees is the "Macchina Barocca" which is situated at the altar of Sant'Ignazio. Every evening at 5:30, it is put into function where writtings from Sant'Ignazio, founder of the Jesuits, are read, and sacred music accompanies the spectacle. Towards the end, the 300 years old mechanism activated and the huge painting starts going down to unveil a splendid statue of Sant'Ignazio di Loyola and all the church illuminates. It overall lasts about 20 minutes and it's absolutely worth it.

✴️Kościół jako każdy w Rzymie wypełniony niesamowitą ilością sztuki, można spędzić tam wiele czasu w modlitwie i podziwiać , wnikać w tą przepiękną sztukę. 💫Najbardziej odwiedziny przez fresk iluzjonistyczny geniusza malarstwa Baciccia - Triumf imienia Jezus, był wykonany w 1672 - 1683 . Są lustra w których można dokładnie zobaczyć wszystko dokładnie. Ten kościół powinien być na waszej mapie turystycznej.

Se encuentra en una zona muy céntrica. Por fuera llama la atención que esta Iglesia es muy austera, pero inmediatamente después de ingresar te deslumbran los impresionantes frescos ilusionistas y la cantidad de decoración barroca. El Altar Mayor toma todo el protagonismo, a su vez en la decoración interior destaca el gran fresco en el techo y las numerosas esculturas que se disponen en las capillas laterales. Mucha gente tiene el interés de visitar este edificio porque ha marcado la historia de la Arquitectura. El tiempo de visita no nos llevo más de media hora.
