- Sant'Ignazio di Loyola a Campo Marzio is a Baroque church in Rome. It was built in 1626 and dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, who had just been canonized. It was the church of the adjacent Collegio Romano, now moved to another location. The architectural design is generally indebted to Carlo Maderno, and was executed by the Jesuit Orazio Grassi. The church has a Latin cross plan with numerous side chapels: the rich decoration include stuccoes, precious marbles and gilt areas. It was consecrated in 1642, but not finished until ca. 1694.
