You Can't Judge a Basilica by its Facade, Part 2

Although in this case, the more elaborate facade heightens the expectations of what will be seen inside.

The Church of St. Louis of the French .  Construction started in 1518, was interrupted in 1527 by the sack of Rome, and completed in 1589.

Exterior offers more to the eye, including columns, pediments, statuary, and other Baroque architectural elements.
