Favourites

The current structure of the parish Church placed in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II in the Old Town, dates back to the mid 19th century and was built on the remains of a previous building, then disappeared.

The Neoclassical Sts. Filippo and Giacomo Church displays a rough limestone facade, vertically tripartite in a quite regular way, embellished with terracotta ornaments framing a big crowning tympanum, the three entrance portals and the big semicircular window, recently adorned with stained-glass windows.

Inside, the Church is tripartite in aisles separated by columns with Ionic capitals. The largest central one has a barrel vault. The two minor lateral ones have flat roofs and are embellished with lateral recesses housing six stone altars (three for each side).

The vault, wall and column frescoes were painted by Nicola and Federico Benvenuti, painters of Perugia.

On the presbytery, raised by a double step and framed by three apses crowning the respective aisles, the majestic stonebuilt altar adorned with the picture of the Madonna dei Portenti, and the two statues of the Saints Filippo and Giacomo stand out.

Inside the Church, the baptismal font and the holy oil vessel are noteworthy, together with the so-called Braccio Santo d’argento (Silver Arm Reliquary) with a ring and a bracelet, as remains of the two Saints.
