Collegiate church of Sant'Esuperanzio, Cingoli

The Collegiate church of Sant'Esuperanzio features limestone and pink marble construction, with a central rose window and columns topped by rounded arches.

Built around 1250, the church was entrusted to monks from Fonte Avellana abbey by Pope Innocent III, who documented its existence in 1139.

The church contains valuable religious art, including 13th-century frescoes, Renaissance altars, and a wooden crucifix in the Simonetti chapel.

Located 300 meters north of Cingoli's historic center, the church maintains a crypt beneath the presbytery containing relics of Saint Exuperantius.

The unfinished facade displays a sculpted lunette depicting Saint Exuperantius with angels, accompanied by evangelist symbols and Gothic inscriptions.
