We went there mostly for the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, but found the rest of the church very beautiful with its sculpted columns and painted ceiling. It closes at lunch time so plan accordingly. There was someone by the door begging for coins in name of the church but there was no sign saying that we had to pay and... More

Stunning in person, the Ecstasy makes an impression. This church is beautiful. See it if you get a chance.

The statue of the Ecstasy of St Therese by Bernini is absolutely beautiful. We would have missed this gem entirely were it not for our guide, Sergio Grom from localguiding.com who brought us to this little church.

Another of my favourite churches in Rome. Not that big but so much packed into it. Of course the famous thing is the spectacular Bernini sculpture ‘The ecstacy of Saint Theresa’, said to be his masterpiece.

This small church is worth visiting just because of the monument with Teresa of Avila by Gian Lorenzo Bernini - you could admire it for hours...

The Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria is not exactly in the heart of all the other major sights in Rome--but a bit of a walk will afford you the opportunity to behold one of Bernini's finest works, free of charge. The church is easy to overlook from the outside; it is easy to bypass this church which houses such... More

The main reason for making the detour to see this smallish church is, of course, Bernini's masterpiece, the ecstasy of Saint Theresa. It sits rather high up and, as a result, is not that easy to see but what one can make out makes it well worth the visit. The way that Bernini was able to transform marble into flowing... More
