Church of Sant'Orsola, Baroque church in Mantua, Italy.

The Church of Sant'Orsola features an octagonal structure with interior decorations by regional artists including Domenico Fetti, Lodovico Carracci, and Carlo Bonomi.

Architect Antonio Maria Viani designed this church in 1608 under the commission of Margherita Gonzaga d'Este, the widow of Alfonso II d'Este.

The interior artwork represents the artistic development of the 17th century, with contributions from both male artists and Lucrina Fetti, a female painter.

The building stands at 45 Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in Mantua and transformed from a religious structure into a hospital during the 1780s.

The church maintains its original octagonal architecture while incorporating decorative elements from multiple distinguished Italian artists of the Baroque period.
