The white marble altar faces down the nave. The frontal has vaguely Cosmatesque detailing, with four little barber's pole columns dividing the field into three. Each of these has a Papal coat-of-arms in bronze, the central one being over a circular stellated aperture. From left to right, the shields are of Popes Urban V, Pius IX and Gregory XI.
