Chiesa di San Giacomo Apostolo, Catholic parish church in Ferrara, Italy.
The San Giacomo Apostolo Church features an undulating roof structure that follows a radial pattern, centered around a white stone altar.
The church complex, completed in 2021, incorporates wooden beams recovered from the former Ferrara town hall into its contemporary design.
The interior walls display large crosses created by artist Enzo Cucchi, with narrative bas-reliefs depicting Biblical stories embedded in concrete.
The church complex includes educational facilities and community meeting spaces, connected by two lateral paths leading to the main entrance.
A central skylight above the altar transforms the interior light throughout different times of day, creating varying illumination patterns.
