San Salvatore di Montecorona, Romanesque basilica in Umbertide, Italy
Located in the Tevere Valley at the foot of Mount Corona, the San Salvatore di Montecorona abbey features a five-naved crypt and an octagonal bell tower.
Saint Romualdo established the monastery in 1008, and by the second half of the 13th century, the abbey controlled 21 churches within its jurisdiction.
The upper church contains 14th-century frescoes of the Umbrian school and displays an 8th-century ciborium decorated with vegetative motifs and peacock sculptures.
The abbey stands four kilometers from Umbertide town center and currently functions as both a parish church and an agricultural enterprise.
The underground crypt, dedicated to Madonna delle Grazie, incorporates Roman and early medieval columns, each with distinct characteristics supporting groin vaults.
