Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii
Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii Review
Completed in 1923 and built to accommodate the area's growing number of Italian immigrants, this church is the oldest continuously operating Italian-American church in Chicago. Its Romanesque Revival style was popular with the famous church architects of the day, Worthman and Steinbach, and its interior is filled with statues and some striking stained-glass windows. At times, the church serves as a venue for concerts or theatrical productions.
