Sant'Andrea della Valle


< previous > < index > < next >

The interior is shaped as a Latin cross with a wide, barrel vaulted nave and not very pronounced transept, flanked by eight side chapels. The church is 262 feet long by 135 feet wide. The chapels are shallow and high, highlighting the strong vertical rhythm of the building. The nave is very bright thanks to a row of windows separated by semi-columns, a total of eight.
