bericht van Irene Pila

The magnificent Chiesa di Santa Caterina da Siena is a beautiful baroque-style church in Rome, Italy. Located on the slopes of Quirinal Hill, the church was originally constructed by Carlo Maderno in 1608 as part of a Dominican convent, and was later redesigned by Giovanni Battista Soria from 1628 until its completion in 1641. Inside, visitors can admire the stunning architecture and impressive relief sculpture of St. Catherine in Ecstasy at the main altar by Melchiorre Cafà, as well as the frescoes throughout by Luigi Garzi, Giuseppe Passeri, Benedetto Luti, and Antoniazzo Romano. Those wanting to explore further may take the corridor leading to the sacristy to find the secret Crypt of the Fallen with its bronze crucifix by Romano Romanelli. It's a must-see for any traveler looking to investigate Italian history and culture!
