Santa Maria della Vittoria
This is a Baroque church located in Rome, recognized primarily for housing Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture, The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. Visitors go here to view this specific work of art and the detailed ornamentation of the interior.
Getting There
The church is situated in the central area of Rome. From the city center, it is accessible via local bus lines or a walk depending on your starting point. Travel time typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes using public transport.
