The 10 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Spoleto, Umbria
A wonderful mix of remnants from its Roman and medieval pasts, Spoleto’s history actually goes back further to Bronze Age Umbria. Today, it’s best known for its annual summer Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of Two Worlds or Spoleto Festival), honoring music, opera, theater and dance. Among the city’s many excellent historic sights are its first-century Roman amphitheatre, the 12th-century Duomo, 13th-century Ponte delle Torri aqueduct and the 14th-century hilltop fortress, Rocca Albornoziana.

Built, starting in 1079, over an existing church. He artwork in here is outstanding. The front of the church was raised and redone in 1342, the artwork in these arches (from 16th century) is beautiful. After WWII this entire church was stripped down / re-worked to the appearance it had in the 15th century. There are still sections of frescoes from the 12th century. Many of the frescoes (now uncovered) are from the 14th and 15th century. There’s an inscription in the church dated 1079 stating the church was dedicated to a martyr that was murdered in a spectacle at a nearby Roman amphitheater. It's free, it's historic, it's art, what's not to love?
