The white marble façade follows the design of Andrea Palladio of two superimposed structures: the lower order seemingly supported by pilasters with architrave and pediment extending over the width of the nave and both aisles, overlaid by a central structure of engaged columns on large pedestals supporting a pediment of the width and height of the nave.
This facade design is similar to Palladio's earlier one for San Francesco della Vigna.
