Sevilay Koçer

Loreta is gorgeous inside and out. The stairs in the garden are very aesthetic. Every detail is beautiful. Loreta consists of a cloister, the church of the Lord’s Birth, the Santa Casa and a clock tower with a famous chime. The construction started in 1626 and was finished in 1931. The architect is Italian Giovanni Orsi. The baroque façade was designed and added years later by architects Christoph Dientzenhofer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.
