Oratorio di Sant'Andrea, Religious oratory in Celio district, Rome, Italy
The oratory features a rectangular layout with a wooden ceiling adorned with the Borghese family coat of arms and marble columns at its entrance.
Cardinal Cesare Baronio initiated the restoration of this ancient structure between 1602 and 1606, with Cardinal Scipione Borghese completing the work by 1608.
The interior walls display frescoes by renowned artists Guido Reni, Domenichino, and Giovanni Lanfranco depicting scenes from Saint Andrew's life.
Located at Piazza di San Gregorio 2, the oratory stands between Santa Barbara and Santa Silvia oratories, managed by Santa Maria Maggiore basilica.
The restoration in the 1500s reversed the building's orientation, revealing 10th and 11th-century frescoes of Christ among Angels and Prophets on the former facade.
