San Silvestro

The basilica features a three-nave interior layout supported by robust columns with Corinthian capitals and a central barrel-vaulted ceiling, creating a balanced space.

Founded in 1195 by master Binello, the church displays travertine blocks in its lower section and Subasio stone blocks in its upper unfinished facade.

The entrance portal contains detailed friezes and is flanked by mullioned windows with twisted columns, demonstrating medieval Italian architectural techniques.

The presbytery stands elevated above a crypt that visitors can access through the left aisle of the church, offering two distinct architectural spaces.

The side aisles feature rare half-hipped roofing, setting this church apart from other religious structures in the Umbria region.
