Piazza di Sant'Ignazio, Baroque square in Colonna district, Rome, Italy
The stone-paved piazza extends in front of Sant'Ignazio Church, featuring curved buildings that create a theatrical arrangement in the space.
The square was established in 1727 as a stage-like setting, incorporating specific architectural elements to frame the church's monumental façade.
The square connects to Sant'Ignazio Church, which houses Andrea Pozzo's ceiling frescoes depicting Saint Ignatius ascending to paradise with Christ.
Yellow markers on the floor indicate the exact spots where visitors can observe the painted dome and ceiling frescoes inside the church.
The surrounding buildings display both convex and concave shapes, creating different visual perceptions as pedestrians move through the square.
