Sant'Andrea della Valle is a titular church and minor basilica in the rione of Sant'Eustachio of the city of Rome, Italy. The basilica is the seat of the general curia of the Theatines and is located on the Piazza Vidoni, at the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele (facing facade) and Corso Rinascimento. It is one of the great 17th century preaching churches built by Counter-Reformation orders in the Centro Storico (the others being San Carlo ai Catinari of the Barnabites, The Gesù and Sant'Ignazio of the Jesuits, and the Chiesa Nuova of the Oratorians).
