St Ignatius Church
These stairs, designed by Pietro Passalacqua and reminiscent of Rome's Spanish Steps, were badly damaged in the 1991-2 siege of Dubrovnik, but have been restored.

What a beautiful church and setting! Another place for my list. If I never make it, at least as a novice (architecture student), I made the pilgrimage to Il Gesu in Rome.
Peyton, I do hope you make it to the Dalmatian coast sometime - the architecture is delicious and I've just given a few samples, so go someplace besides Taiwan next year, eh?
