Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù, Catholic church in Parma, Italy.
Description
Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù is a Baroque church in Parma featuring a single central nave with six side chapels arranged along its length. The interior combines Baroque lines with Renaissance details and houses two organs, one in the choir and another positioned opposite a replica of the Santa Casa.
History
This church was established in 1584 by the Confraternity dei Rossi as a place of worship and community gathering. Significant expansions followed in the 17th century under different architects, reshaping its layout and decorative program.
Culture
The church displays religious artworks by notable painters that shaped its spiritual character and continue to draw visitors seeking art and faith together. These paintings reflect the devotion of those who commissioned them over the centuries.
Practical
The church is located on Strada Garibaldi in central Parma and can be easily found in the old town. Since it remains an active place of worship, visiting times should be checked before arrival to respect religious services.
Did you know?
The third chapel on the right side reproduces the exact measurements of the Santa Casa from the Shrine of Loreto, creating a sacred copy within the church. This allowed pilgrims who could not travel to the original shrine to experience a replica of the holy dwelling.
