Chapel of the Vision of Ignatius of Loyola, Religious chapel in Campo Marzio district, Rome, Italy

The chapel contains intricate frescoes depicting Saint Ignatius of Loyola with angels, created by artist Andrea Pozzo during the 17th century.

The chapel stands where Saint Ignatius experienced a vision at La Storta, leading to the establishment of the Society of Jesus in 1540.

The chapel houses the tombs of three important saints: Aloysius Gonzaga, John Berchmans, and Robert Bellarmino, attracting Catholic pilgrims year-round.

The chapel offers guided tours with volunteers and regular religious ceremonies, including Eucharist celebrations and spiritual gatherings throughout the week.

Andrea Pozzo designed an optical illusion dome using advanced painting techniques to create a three-dimensional effect on the flat ceiling surface.
