The Jesuit Church in Esztergom


The ground plan of the church follows the style of the Il Gesu baroque church in Rome. It consists of one nave and it is a significant piece of the Hungarian baroque architecture. 


We can see two towers on the main facade.



 At the top in the middle of the facade stands the statue of Ignatius of Loyola which has been damaged over the years. Below the main entrance there is a huge window.





 The previous altar painting depicted the transfiguration of Ignatius of Loyola which was the work of Martino Altomonte. The painting of the side altar was painted by Antal Werle. 
The old organ was constructed in 1770.





The interior compared to the original one has a puritan character.
