Basilica di S. Luigi Gonzaga, Minor basilica in Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy
The Basilica di S. Luigi Gonzaga features a single nave design with a baroque architectural style and an elliptical dome above the main altar.
Construction of the basilica started in 1608 by Jesuit fathers and was completed in the early 18th century, coinciding with Luigi Gonzaga's canonization in 1727.
The basilica displays numerous artworks, including Giorgio Anselmi's 1740 fresco and Guercino's 1650 'La Pietà' painting in the left chapel.
Visitors can access the basilica daily from 7:45 to 12:00 and 17:00 to 19:45, with masses held at 8:00 and 18:00 on weekdays.
The basilica houses the skull of Saint Luigi Gonzaga in an 18th-century urn beneath Antonio Balestra's painting depicting the saint in prayer.
