Santa Maria Maggiore, Baroque Jesuit church in Trieste, Italy
The Santa Maria Maggiore church features a Latin cross layout with three naves, pillars, and an octagonal dome adorned with religious frescoes.
Construction of the church began in 1627 under Jesuit supervision, with Bishop Rinaldo Scarlicchio laying the first stone on October 10 of that year.
The interior displays numerous artworks, including Carlo Wostry's Via Crucis canvases and a central fresco depicting the Apotheosis of the Immaculate Conception.
Sunday masses occur at 9:00, 10:30, and 12:00, while weekday services include morning mass at 7:00 and evening mass at 18:00.
Below the church structure lies an extensive network of underground passages that were part of the original Jesuit complex.
