Santi Luca e Martina, Baroque church in Roman Forum, Italy
Santi Luca e Martina stands between the Roman Forum and Forum of Caesar, featuring a Greek cross layout with a central dome and white stucco interiors.
Originally built in 601 AD and dedicated to Saint Martina, the church underwent substantial reconstruction in 1635 under architect Pietro da Cortona's direction.
The Accademia di San Luca, an association for painters, sculptors, and architects, received patronage of this church in 1588, adding Saint Luke to its dedication.
Located at Via del Tulliano 3 in Rome, the church sits near the Arch of Septimius Severus, making it accessible from the Roman Forum entrance.
The church contains two distinct levels: an upper church with Ionic columns and a lower underground section financed by Pietro da Cortona himself.
