San Vigilio, University church in Siena, Italy

The church features a classical facade with Renaissance elements and contains fifteen ceiling compartments depicting the Last Judgment by Raffaello Vanni.

Established in 1401 by the Ugurgieri family, the church underwent transformations under Camaldolese monks until 1420 and later came under Jesuit administration in 1556.

The interior chapels display marble decorations and sculptural works by notable artists including Rocco Tamburani and Bartolomeo Mazzuoli.

Located at the intersection of Via San Vigilio and Via Sallustio Bandini, the church maintains regular opening hours for University of Siena students.

The main altar, constructed by brothers Marcello and Lattanzio Biringucci, contains a painting by Mattia Preti and relics of martyred saints.
