===The Re Magi Chapel of the Propaganda Fide===
{{main|Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples}}

The College of the Propagation of the Faith or Propaganda Fide in Rome includes the Re Magi Chapel by Borromini, generally considered by architectural historians to be one of his most spatially unified architectural interiors.<ref>See, Magnuson, T. ''Rome in the Age of Bernini'', Vol 2, 207</ref>

The chapel replaced a small oval chapel designed by his rival Bernini. It was a late work in Borromini's career. He was appointed as architect in 1648, but it was not until 1660 that construction of the chapel began. Although the main body of work was completed by 1665, some of the decoration was finished after his death.

His façade to the Via di Propaganda Fide comprises seven bays articulated by giant pilasters. The central bay is a concave curve and accommodates the main entry into the college courtyard and complex, with the entrance to the chapel to the left and to the college to the right.
