Church of the Jesuits

Church of Saints Peter and Paul of the Jesuit Order, Jesuit Church
Ukraine, Lviv
The Jesuit Church was built in 1610-1630 by the Italian architect Jacopo Briano, finishing work continued until 1660. The building of the church has three naves, galleries were built over the side aisles. Statues of Jesuit saints are placed in the niches of the main façade. In 1740 the vaults of the church were painted by artists Francis and Sebastian Eckstein from Brno. The walls of the temple are decorated with ancient frescoes and decorative moldings. The main value of the cathedral is a wooden crucifix in the side altar, made at the beginning of the 17th century.

A huge majestic temple with its complicated history. Now little by little restored, but it works. Almost always crowded. An interesting ceiling with partly lost painting, which, if restored, will be a distant resemblance to the dome of the Sistine Chapel.
