What famous church in Vatican cityitaly was giacomo della porta was the architect?
Giacomo della Porta's most famous church is probably the "Chiesa del Gesù" (lit. Church of the Gesu) in Rome. He also participated in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican (if I'm not mistaken, he worked on it's impressive dome). He worked on different churches (and fountains) in Rome, but I think the only one in Vatican City is the Basilica (the project for this church is originally by Bramante, but most great architects during renaissance gave their interpretation, until Carlo Maderno completed it).
