Basilica of Sant'Eufemia, Spoleto, Romanesque basilica in Spoleto, Italy
The basilica features three naves with alternating columns and pillars, crossed vaults, and a gallery above the lateral naves spanning the entire length.
The structure emerged in 1101 on the former site of the Lombard dukes' palace, initially serving as a chapel dedicated to Saint Euphemia.
The marble altar displays Cosmatesque decorations, while the apse contains a 16th-century fresco depicting the Eternal Father among angels.
Visitors can access the basilica through the Diocesan Museum located in the Archbishop's Palace, following the entrance on Via Saffi street.
The gallery above the naves remains as evidence of the designated space where Benedictine nuns attended religious celebrations in medieval times.
