Oratory of San Bernardino, Renaissance oratory in Piazza San Francesco, Perugia, Italy.
The oratory exhibits a polychrome facade adorned with intricate reliefs, twin portals, and detailed sculptures created by Agostino di Duccio between 1457 and 1461.
Built in 1452 to honor Saint Bernardino of Siena, the oratory stands as a testament to the religious and artistic developments of fifteenth-century Umbria.
The facade depicts five scenes from Saint Bernardino's life, along with six Franciscan virtues and angel musicians represented in the portal jambs.
Located adjacent to the basilica of San Francesco al Prato, the oratory opens for visits during regular church hours throughout the week.
The high altar incorporates a fourth-century Christian sarcophagus containing the remains of Blessed Egidio until 1887, featuring scenes from the Old Testament.
