San Ponziano, Spoleto, Romanesque church building in Spoleto, Italy.
The church of San Ponziano stands on Cinciano Hill, featuring a preserved Romanesque facade and a neoclassical interior renovated by Giuseppe Valadier in 1788.
The religious complex originated between the 11th and 13th centuries on an early Christian cemetery site, with a Benedictine monastery present before the 14th century.
The crypt contains three ancient sarcophagi, including one bearing the name Agipertus, the first documented Lombard in Spoleto's historical records.
Visitors can access the crypt near the altar to view 14th and 15th-century frescoes and a silver reliquary containing Saint Ponziano's skull.
The church holds a procession each January 14th, carrying Saint Ponziano's skull to the Duomo of Spoleto during the patron saint's feast day.
