Tempietto


The San Michele Arcangelo Church, commonly called Tempietto, is the oldest church in Perugia. With a circular Paleochristian groundwork from the end of the V century or beginning of the VI century, the same internal structure as the San Stefano Rotondo Church in Rom, and its gothic front door from the XIV century, this tempietto is a pure visual surprise at the end of Corso Garibaldi. An isolated place in an extreme part of the city where silence, peace and spirituality emerge at the most!
