Churches and places of worship Perugino

The cathedral of Perugia was designed around 1300 and built above the previous Romanesque cathedral. The façade, which has remained incomplete, is covered with white and pink marble tiles. The latest changes, in the mid-nineteenth century, gave the cathedral a neo-Gothic aspect at the will of the future Pope Leo XIII

It is the most impressive church in the city and among the largest in Central Italy. The facade with side buttresses, has a Baroque staircase. The marble coating was planned, remained unfinished. The bell tower has two orders of Gothic windows. The interior was modified with a pattern similar to St. Peter's in the Vatican because, due to design errors, after two centuries after construction, numerous collapses occurred.

The monastery of Santa Caterina Vecchia dates back to the thirteenth century and in the mid-1500s it was renovated on behalf of the monastery of Santa Giuliana, which owned it until 1647. The interior of the church has paintings by Benedetto Bandiera. In the inner chapel there is a Via Crucis with captions in Latin and Spanish. In 1649, when the monastery was purchased by the nuns, restoration work was carried out. Since 1846 Saint Catherine has remained the only Benedictine women's monastery in the city.

The Monastery of Santa Lucia was built in 1344 and is located in Perugia. In the courtyard of the monastery we find the Baroque church and inside there are three altars. It also has a library.

It is a church built in the 5th century, with a particular architecture, in typical Romanesque style and circular shape. This ancient and beautiful church is dedicated to the warrior angel. In 1487 the Baglioni family, who at the time owned the church, used it as a military arrowing. This church is part of the Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve.

The color and effects of light dark, are obtained from polychrome marbles and from blue drafting of lapis lazuli and gold, today no longer visible in their splendor. The architectural structure resumes from the church of S. Andrea in Mantua by Leon Battista Alberti. The pattern of the facade is very simple: rectangular, gable crowned by a protruding roof.

The Oratory of the Brotherhood of the Disciplinated of Saint Francis was the ancient seat of the homonymous fraternity. It dates back to the 14th century and is a building rich in art works of great value. The elements of the building are the result of the work of numerous artists of the time: De Champagne, Gismondi, Di Galeotto among them.

The Monastery of Sant'Agnese is located in Perugia and was built in 1329 by the nuns of the Monastery of Boneggio. The interior of the building is enriched with paintings by several painters dating back to the 17th century. Outside the building we find the cloistered wheel.

The Monastery of Blessed Colomba was founded by Blessed Colomba da Rieti, in 1493. Blessed Colomba, born in Rieti on 2 February 1467, had the name of Angiolella Guadagnoli and was immediately called Colomba, because a dove was approached to her baptismal font, a sign of divine predilection . From the very early childhood, Angiolella showed signs of her nature as a Saint. The monastery has a simple and austere exterior and preserves the reconstruction of the cell of Blessed Colomba da Rieti.

The monastery is of fifteenth-century origin, despite the restorations of the '600. It was founded by Giovanni Battista da Gubbio, a hermit of the time, and his companions. The architecture is very accurate and inside we find artistic works from the late Gothic period: paintings, frescoes, and sculptures of the '300. Today the building is the headquarters of ADISU (Agency for the Right to University Study of Umbria).

The small Sanctuary of Madonna dei Bagni is located on the road that goes from Perugia to Todi about 2 kilometers from Deruta in the town of Casalina.
