Front elevation, view of the concave quadrant wall, depicting where it meets the church portico; Sant' Andrea al Quirinale was a project for the Jesuits funded by Prince Camillo Pamphili. It is oval in plan, with the entrance and the altar facing one another on the short axis. Framed by massive pairs of dusty-pink marble columns, with an eccentric inward-curving pediment, the altar aedicule is the focal point of the interior.
