Sant'Emiliano in Congiuntoli

Sant'Emiliano in Congiuntoli is an abbey in Scheggia e Pascelupo with thick stone walls and a Romanesque church featuring two naves and sparse windows. The structure now serves as a private residence and farmhouse, making public access limited.

The abbey was founded in the 10th century on the borders of the Duchy of Spoleto and dedicated to Saint Emiliano, a martyr from Numidia. He was executed during the reign of the Roman emperor Valerian.

The abbey once held 14th-century frescoes from the Riminese school depicting saints until they were removed in 1906. One surviving piece is now displayed in Fabriano's art gallery, offering insight into the religious artwork that decorated these walls.

The abbey is now privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside as it functions as a residence. Plan your visit for good weather to see the stone structures and architectural details clearly.

The abbey sits at the meeting point of the Sentino River and the Rio Freddo stream on a rocky outcrop. This strategic location originally served as a watchpoint and gave the site natural defensive advantages.
