Church of San Tomazo di Villanova

The Church of San Tomazo di Villanova is located in the center of the Italian city of Castel Gandolfo. It is dedicated to St. Thomas Villanova and was built in the late seventeenth century. Lorenzo Bernini himself worked on its architecture for three years. The church has a square shape. In its center is the Crucifixion on the cross of Christ. It is considered the main treasure of the church. The famous master Pietro da Cortona worked on it.

At its base, the church has a Greek cross. The best masters were engaged in finishing works in the temple. The ceiling was painted by the famous Italian artist Antonio Raggi.

Despite the fact that the outside view of the church is not quite attractive (the building in its color and architecture does not stand out from the rest), inside it is cozy and bright. In addition to the Crucifixion on the cross of Christ, there are ancient icons in the church.
