Chiesa del Gesù, Baroque church in Montepulciano, Italy.
The Chiesa del Gesù features an elliptical interior layout with rhythmic columns, pilasters, and elaborate decorative elements throughout its architectural design.
Construction of the church began in 1691 following plans by Giovanni Battista Origoni, with subsequent modifications by Jesuit architect Andrea Pozzo between 1702 and 1703.
The interior displays notable artistic works, including stucco statues by Bartolomeo Mazzuoli and paintings by Antonio Colli utilizing trompe l'oeil techniques.
The church stands on Via di Voltaio 101 in central Montepulciano, making it accessible for visitors exploring the town's religious landmarks.
The building's dome design underwent modifications due to concerns about structural stability on Montepulciano's hilly terrain, leading to specialized architectural solutions.
