The hill is the site of other important monuments and buildings. Many of those built during the [[baroque]] period reflect the personal and spiritual aspirations of powerful local families:
* The church of [[Sant'Andrea al Quirinale]] was designed by [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini]] (1658–1671), for Cardinal [[Camillo Francesco Maria Pamphili|Camillo Pamphilii]] (nephew of [[Pope Innocent X]]); it is one of the most elegant samples of [[baroque]] architecture in Rome, with its splendid interior of marble, stuccoes, and gilded decorations.
* The four fountains ([[Quattro Fontane]]) with reclining river gods (1588–93) commissioned by [[Pope Sixtus V]].
* [[Francesco Borromini|Borromini]]'s church of [[San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane]] (or San Carlino – originally ''Chiesa della Santissima Trinità e di San [[Carlo Borromeo]]''), the first and last work of this architect (the façade was completed after his death) commissioned by the [[Barberini]].
* The [[Piazza Barberini|Piazza]] and [[Palazzo Barberini]], built by [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|Bernini]] and [[Carlo Maderno|Maderno]], which now houses the [[Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica]].
*Palazzo Volpi di Misurata, across from San Carlino, built in the 18th century.
* Palazzo Albani del Drago, built by [[Domenico Fontana]] and enlarged with an added belvedere, by [[Alessandro Specchi]] for the [[Albani people|Albani]] [[Pope Clement XI]]; with the decline in the fortunes of Cardinal [[Alessandro Albani]], it was sold to the del Drago, who occupy it still.
* Palazzo Baracchini, built 1876–83, now housing the Ministry of Defense.
* The church of [[San Silvestro al Quirinale]], which was described for the first time circa 1000, rebuilt in the 16th century and restructured (façade) in the 19th.
* The [[Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas|Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum'']]
* The [[Palazzo Colonna]] (17th century), in front of [[Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi]], contains some remains of [[Caracalla]]'s temple of [[Serapis]]
* The [[Palazzo della Consulta]] hosts today the [[Constitutional Court of Italy|Constitutional Court]], and was erected by [[Ferdinando Fuga]] for [[Pope Clement XII]] directly opposite Palazzo del Quirinale.
* The [[Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi]] (17th century) built by Giorgio Vasanzio and [[Carlo Maderno]]
