Chiesa di Sant'Andrea della Colonna, Baroque church in Sant'Eustachio district, Rome, Italy

The church contains a main nave with eight tall chapels, leading to a Latin cross plan marked by a substantial dome.

Construction started in 1591 under Giacomo Della Porta's design and received financial support from Cardinal Alessandro Peretti di Montalto.

The interior features frescoes by Giovanni Lanfranco and Domenichino, created between 1621 and 1628 in the dome and pendentives.

The church opens to visitors daily and stands at the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Rinascimento in central Rome.

The dome's lantern includes capitals with cherubs forming wing-shaped volutes, attributed to young Francesco Borromini's early work.
