The wall, approximately 20 meters in height, is filled with intricate details. From the capital of the columns to the reliefs on the walls, every detail showcases the grandeur and exquisiteness of Baroque art. 🎨 Different times of the day bring different atmospheres to the interior of the church. Morning sunlight sprinkles on the main altar, afternoon light and shadows project onto the side altars, and the soft light in the evening is very sacred. 🌅 Illusionist Ceiling Paintings Upon entering the church and looking up at the ceiling, you'll find the fresco titled "The Glorification of Saint Ignatius."
