Jezuite Street leads to the foot of the imposing staircase (modeled in 1738 on the 'Spanish Steps' in Rome) that mounts to Sv. Ignacio, the baroque church of the Jesuits, designed by A. Pozzo (1725) in imitation of the Gesu in Rome. The belfry boasts a bell cast in 1355. The focal point of the spacious interior is the apse painted by the Sicilian G. Garcia (1738).
