Santi Claudio e Andrea dei Borgognoni
The small church of Santi Claudio e Andrea dei Borgognoni was built by the French architect Antoine Dérizet* (1685-1768) between 1728 and 1730, and served Rome's community of Burgundians (Borgognoni).

​Known simply as San Claudio, it is the only church in Rome dedicated to this 7th century French saint.

Interior
The interior space is dominated by the dome, which is supported by four arches leading into the arms of the Greek cross on which the church's layout is based. One arm is for the entrance bay, one is for the Chapel of St Peter Julian Eymard  (right), one is for the Chapel of the Resurrection, and one is the triumphal arch of the sanctuary.
The pendentives of the dome have stucco representations of the four Evangelists, in white on a gilded background. The entablature on which the dome rests has an inscription extolling the Blessed Sacrament on its frieze.

The high altar takes the form of an enormous gilded glory.

In 1886, the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, known in Italian as the Sacramentini, was put in charge of the church. They undertook a major re-ordering of the interior at the end of the 19th century.

*Dérizet also designed the church of Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano. ​
