This church is home to Bernini’s Ecstasy of St Teresa, a masterpiece of Baroque art completed in 1652. Designed by architect Carlo Maderno, the building was commissioned by the Discalced Carmelite order and reflects the spiritual fervor of its time.

Notable for its intricate details, the church showcases a blend of architecture and art, especially in the Cornaro Chapel where the sculpture resides. The figures watching over Teresa add a dramatic layer, alongside the natural light that enhances the viewing experience.
