San Paolo Apostolo, Modern parish church in Foligno, Italy

The San Paolo Apostolo Church consists of two geometric concrete volumes connected by a smaller element that separates different spaces within the structure.

Following the 1997 earthquake in Umbria, the Italian Episcopal Conference selected Massimiliano Fuksas's design through a national competition to build this church in 2001.

The church interior displays fourteen Stations of the Cross created by artist Mimmo Paladino, while Enzo Cucchi designed the exterior Stele-Cross sculpture.

The structure stands elevated 1.50 meters from ground level and covers 610 square meters of floor space, incorporating natural light through strategic openings.

The architectural design features a box-within-box concept, with internal and external structures separated by three meters to filter light through irregular windows.
