San Pasquale, Rococo church in Taranto, Italy

The San Pasquale church displays ornate marble decorations throughout its three-nave Latin cross layout, featuring polychrome surfaces and intricate details.

Construction of San Pasquale began in 1749 under the guidance of Father Bernardo della Concezione, with support from the Bourbon dynasty and the Holy See.

The church maintains its position as the primary sanctuary dedicated to Saint Egidio of Taranto, continuing its religious services under Franciscan minor friars.

The church contains a two-manual pipe organ built by Ruffatti Brothers in the 1950s, which provides musical accompaniment during liturgical celebrations.

The current facade, designed by architect Giovanni Mongiello in 1946, replaced the original 1747 structure while preserving the church's Rococo characteristics.
