Chiesa Sant'Andrea degli Scozzesi

In 1592, after the separation of England and Scotland from the Church of Rome, Pope Clement VIII had a convent with a church built to initiate young Scots into the priesthood. In 1615 Paul V entrusted it to the Jesuits and in 1645 a new church was built dedicated to St Andrew of Scots. During the French occupation the church was closed for worship. In 1802, the college resumed its activities and in 1864 underwent major renovations that gave it its current appearance. The church has a gabled façade with two rows of pilasters and a framed portal, surmounted by a tympanum with two dolphins and a ribbon on which is the name St Andrew of the Scots. The interior, with a single nave covered by a barrel vault, has a fresco in the centre from the end of the 16th century depicting Saint Andrew in Glory.
