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).
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.[1][2]
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.[3]
The adjacent convent once was a hospital, then a museum.[4]
