Sant'Andrea della Valle, Minor basilica in Sant'Eustachio district, Rome, Italy.
The basilica features a Latin cross layout with a central nave, eight side chapels, and a dome reaching 71 meters in height.
Construction began in 1591 under Pier Paolo Olivieri, with funds from Costanza Piccolomini who donated her palace and the existing San Sebastiano church.
The church contains frescoes by Domenichino depicting Saint Andrew's life and Mattia Preti's paintings of the saint's crucifixion and burial.
The basilica stands at the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Rinascimento, serving as the general headquarters of the Theatine order.
The interior serves as the setting for the first act of Puccini's opera Tosca, though the mentioned Cappella Attavanti does not exist.
