Santa Maria della Vittoria
Santa Maria della Vittoria, Baroque church near Repubblica Metro station in Rome, Italy
The church features a single nave with three interconnected side chapels, separated by Corinthian pilasters adorned with gilded capitals beneath a segmented vault.
The Carmelite Order established this church in 1605 as a chapel dedicated to Saint Paul, later renamed after the Catholic victory at White Mountain in 1620.
The Cornaro Chapel contains Gian Lorenzo Bernini's marble sculpture group The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, created between 1647 and 1652 for Cardinal Cornaro.
The church opens daily from 8:30 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, with free admission and convenient access from Repubblica metro station.
Turkish battle standards captured during the 1683 Siege of Vienna remain displayed within the church walls, contributing to its military victory theme.
