Facts and practical information

The church of Sant'Orsola is a church in Brescia, located along Via Moretto, between the church of Santa Croce and the intersection with Via Gramsci. Built in the early seventeenth century by the Ursulines with the aim of expanding their city religious community, after the 1797 suppression it was recovered by the Fatebenefratelli friars who established a large hospital in the adjoining convent, which is still active today. The church is now the chapel of the health center, but the daily evening mass is always open to the public.
