The church of Sant'Andrea al Quirinale was built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for Cardinal Camillo Pamphili, nephew to Pope Innocenzo X, during the second half of 1600. A very elegant curvilinear protirus with two columns, burdened by a coat of arms, precedes the simple façade with a single order, framed by pilaster strips and crowned by a tympanum. 

The interior, splendid for marbles, gilts and stuccoes, with an elliptical plan with the transversal major axis, is a masterpiece of architectural, decorative and pictorial harmony. The apse is preceded by two couples of columns surmounted by a concave pediment, which follows the curve of the dome and includes a big statue of Sant'Andrea, by Raggi.
