My favorite of the three churches we went to on our field trip was San Ignazio. It was the final church we went to and it is located less than thirty seconds from my apartment. However, I have never been there before because there is an orange caution tape lining the front of the church, and the entrance isn't easily visible. I am glad we went though, because the paintings inside were incredible. Apparently there was not enough money left in the budget when the building was being constructed and the architects were not able to put a dome in like they had wanted. So, it was decided that the painters would paint the ceiling in such a way that it would look like a dome. All of the ceiling looks three dimensional and it was painted incredibly.
