San Bernardo alle Terme, Mannerist church near Diocletian's Baths in Rome, Italy
The cylindrical structure of San Bernardo alle Terme features a 22-meter wide dome with an oculus that provides natural illumination to the interior space.
Caterina Sforza di Santafiora, niece of Pope Julius III, commissioned the church in 1589 for the French Cistercian group known as the Feuillants.
Eight stucco statues created by Camillo Mariani represent saints including Augustine of Hippo and Francis of Assisi within the church's circular walls.
The church stands at Via Torino 94 in the Castro Pretorio district, maintaining regular opening hours and welcoming visitors throughout the year.
The structure incorporates a section of Diocletian's Baths, with its dome design directly influenced by the engineering principles of ancient Roman architecture.
