Church of San Salvatore, Campi

The Church of San Salvatore features a rectangular stone structure with two naves, two portals, and rose windows at its symmetrical facade.

First documented in 1115, the church replaced a Roman temple and underwent major reconstruction in the 14th century, doubling its size by 1491.

The interior contained frescoes by Giovanni and Antonio Sparapane, representing the artistic traditions of 15th-century Umbrian religious decoration.

The structure sustained severe damage during earthquakes in 2016, leading to evacuation of over 1,200 artworks by the Ministry of Culture.

The church portal from 1491 displays a carved lamb symbol, connecting to its earlier dedication to Saint Mary before its rededication to Holy Saviour.
