Basilica of San Salvatore, Spoleto
Basilica of San Salvatore, Spoleto, Romanesque basilica in Spoleto, Italy
The Basilica of San Salvatore stands on Ciciano hill with a three-nave layout, featuring ancient columns and a tripartite presbytery covered by an octagonal vault.
Originally dedicated to martyrs Concordio and Senzia between the fourth and fifth centuries, the structure received its current name San Salvatore through an 815 document.
The building incorporates numerous Roman architectural elements, including spolia columns, bases, and classical stone blocks that were repurposed during its construction.
The interior of the basilica remains inaccessible to visitors, but the main architectural features can be observed through the entrance door.
The presbytery contains an ancient frescoed monogrammed cross and traces of faux marble decoration, representing the earliest painted elements in the structure.
