Church of saint Angelo in Perugia, Early Christian church in Perugia, Italy
The circular structure of Sant'Angelo church features sixteen Roman columns with Corinthian capitals arranged in a concentric pattern around the central altar.
Built in the 5th century on a former Roman site, the church underwent modifications around 900 CE and suffered damage in 1487 during its conversion into military fortifications.
The temple houses numerous tombstones decorated with artisan guild symbols, reflecting the social structure of medieval Perugia through architectural elements.
The church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors to explore its ancient columns, architectural features, and religious artifacts throughout the year.
Eight pairs of Roman columns inside the church contain Greek inscriptions, suggesting their origin from Villa Adriana in Tivoli, near Rome.
