Santi Quattro Coronati Church

Sant’Andrea delle Fratte is a Baroque Roman Catholic church in Rome, located near the Piazza di Spagna. It functions as a parish church and a titular church within the Diocese of Rome.

The interior contains Baroque-era decoration and an elevated single nave with side chapels. The church is compact in plan, set on a narrow street close to central Rome landmarks such as the Spanish Steps and Via del Babuino.

The medieval origins of a church on the site date earlier, with major rebuilding and Baroque refurbishment carried out in the 17th century. Over time the building has served ordinary parish functions and retained artistic and devotional fixtures typical of Roman Baroque churches.

The church sits in central Rome on the rione Campo Marzio, a short walk east of the Piazza di Spagna and west of the Tiber. The area is densely built and heavily visited by tourists to central Rome.

From the Colosseum, walk up Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano toward the Caelian Hill (about 10-15 minutes). The nearest metro is Colosseo (Line B); from there it’s a 12-15 minute uphill walk via Via dei Santi Quattro. Buses 118 and 75 stop on nearby Via Labicana.

• Enter through the small medieval gate on Via Santi Quattro to avoid the main tourist trickle and see the worn stone steps up close.
• Look for the narrow slit windows in the fortified monastery - they frame views of the Colosseum and feel like a deliberate architectural retort to papal Rome.
• Take time inside the 13th-century curia (the "Cardinal's Hall") and search for graffiti left by pilgrims; most guidebooks skip the tiny chapel off the cloister.
