Façade
The façade of the church is divided into two sections. The lower section is divided by six pairs of pilasters with Corinthian capitals, while the upper section is divided with four pairs of pilasters. The upper section is joined to the lower section by a volute on each side. The main door stands under a curvilinear tympanum, while the two side doors are under a triangular tympanum. Above the main door one can see a shield with the christogram IHS, representing the name of Jesus Ihesus. The façade also shows the papal coat of arms and a shield with the initialism SPQR, tying this church closely to the people of Rome.
