The Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan, consecrated in 1675, is a masterpiece of Italian High Baroque in Bavaria. Designed by Agostino Barelli, the Catholic church features a striking twin-tower facade and is situated at Odeonsplatz, across from the Munich Residenz. Initially built as a court and monastery church for the Theatine Order, it is now overseen by the Dominican Order.
