Church of the Gesù

Chiesa del Gesu
Italy, Calabria
Built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, the temple is located in the historic center of the small resort town of Tropea. Above the main portal, the emblem of the Jesuit order has been preserved. The facade of the building is decorated with four sculptures of saints. During the 19th century, del Gesu served as the town hall. The main element of the interior of the church is a baroque marble altar, above which is a painting by the Italian artist Paolo de Matthijs "The Circumcision of Jesus". The church also houses other works of art by lesser-known painters.

The church was built by the Jesuits in the early 17th century on the site of a ruined ancient Byzantine temple. The emblem of the Jesuit order is preserved above the main portal. The facade is decorated with four sculptures of saints. The narrow street on which the cathedral is located does not allow you to photograph it completely.
