Temple of Clitumnus, Early Christian temple in Campello sul Clitunno, Italy.
The Temple of Clitumnus stands along the Clitunno river, featuring four columns with square pillars and two side stairways leading to small prothyra.
The structure incorporates elements from ancient pagan shrines and contains original Longobard sculptural features, departing from the common practice of reusing Roman materials.
The temple displays an inscription dedicated to the God of Angels on its frieze, while the interior preserves an 8th-century fresco of the Redeemer.
Visitors can explore the temple from Tuesday through Sunday between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM, with admission restricted during Monday closures.
