Unfortunately, only a few remains of the building have survived to the present day, namely some ruins of the perimeter walls and part of the apse, with some decorations; however, we can still admire a <strong>single lancet window<\/strong> in the shape of a Latin cross that attests to the original appearance of this church. It was probably destroyed by an army around the end of the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century, following one of the numerous conflicts with the municipality of Perugia, as happened to many architectural works in the various locations on and around Lake Trasimeno. Unfortunately, the church was not rebuilt by the inhabitants, who progressively moved further downstream where they founded the new urban settlement. Here they built a new church in honour of Santa Maria Maddalena, replacing the ancient church dedicated to Sant\u2019Agatha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The construction of the Chiesa di Sant\u2019Agata, the then parish church of Tuori (the ancient name of the village), dates back to around the year 1000.
