Over each entrance is an oculus (a round or rose window), the central one being slightly larger and much higher. The central entrance has a doorcase with barleysugar twisted molding and an inscription on its lintel commemorating Andrea Capranica (1582-1634), who put up money for the 1600 restoration. Above the door is the Caprianica coat-of-arms.
