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.

Umbria preserves traces of over two millennia of history through its archaeological sites, religious monuments, and remarkable natural formations. The region features underground complexes such as Orvieto Underground with its 1,200 passages carved into volcanic tuff, and Narni Underground, revealing medieval chapels and remains of Roman aqueducts. Visitors also explore the Dunarobba Fossil Forest, where 50 petrified tree trunks dating back three million years showcase the region's geological evolution. Medieval castles like Rocca Albornoziana overlook ancient towns, while monasteries such as San Pietro in Valle and Eremo delle Carceri maintain medieval art and spirituality. The Umbrian landscape stretches from Gubbio's Roman theaters to mountain villages like Castelluccio, perched at 1,452 meters (4,764 feet) above sea level, and includes the Nera Natural Park, which protects over 2,120 hectares (5,243 acres) of forests and limestone formations. These sites trace the region’s history from the Etruscan civilization through the Renaissance.
