Sant’Eustachio is a historic church occupying Piazza Sant’Eustachio in central Rome, close to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. The building presents a Baroque interior typical of Roman parish churches and functions as an active place of worship.
The church and its piazza form a compact urban ensemble; the square is a useful vantage point for examining the façade and for nearby street-life. The interior contains altars and chapels accumulated over post-medieval renovations.
Sant’Eustachio was rebuilt and redecorated through the post-medieval centuries and retains a sequence of Baroque-era decorative elements applied to an older church site.
The church sits on Piazza Sant’Eustachio in Rome’s historic core, a short walk west of the Pantheon and within the rione’s narrow streets.
