Sant'Andrea degli Scozzesi, Former Catholic church near Piazza Barberini, Rome, Italy
The Sant'Andrea degli Scozzesi church features a two-story facade with minimalist ornamentation, displaying only the cross and two fishes of Saint Andrew.
Founded in 1592, the church construction began in the 1640s and reached completion by 1646, serving Scottish Catholics seeking refuge in Rome.
The high altar contains an 18th-century altarpiece depicting the Martyrdom of St Andrew, created by Scottish painter Gavin Hamilton.
The church maintained its religious functions until 2004 when it was deconsecrated by decree of the Cardinal Vicar of Rome.
In 1959, the church received a distinguished visit from Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, marking a connection between British royalty and Scottish Catholics.
