San Francesco Saverio also known as the Church of the Suffragio is a Baroque-style Roman Catholic church located in Piazza Ferrari #12 in Rimini, Italy. The church rises adjacent to the former convent of the Jesuits (now a civic museum).




History


The church was commissioned by the Jesuit order and built in 1721. The Jesuits previously had been housed in a site in Santa Maria a Mare. The design had been attributed to either Giovanni Francesco Buonamici or Francesco Garampi.
The layout is modelled on the Gesù church in Rome. Adjacent to the church was once the Jesuit convent, which was for years a hospital, and now serves as Civic Museum. The facade remains incomplete in brick, but the interior is richly decorated, despite the suppression of the Jesuits by papal bull in 1773.
The adjacent convent once was a hospital, then a museum.
