Description
The Santuario di Santa Teresa di Gesù Bambino is a Gothic Revival minor basilica in Borgo Roma district featuring two pointed spires, a brick-detailed facade, and a bell tower completed in 1955. The building combines religious architecture with refined craftsmanship from the post-war period.
History
Cardinal Bartolomeo Bacilieri consecrated the church on January 15, 1905, and Pope Pius XI elevated it to minor basilica status in 1938. These events marked its recognition as a significant religious site in the diocese.
Culture
The chapel displays bronze reliefs showing scenes from Saint Teresa's life, with a central reliquary holding her wax figure surrounded by four angel statues.
Practical
The sanctuary is typically open during daytime for visitors and offers morning adorations along with regular prayer times. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and observe quiet when believers are praying.
