Visciano - Santa Pudenziana

Visciano is a rural settlement about 8kms south of Narni, so small, that this church often is named "Santa Pudenziana of Narni". Maybe the hamlet, located near an ancient Roman road, had some (meanwhile forgotten) importance thousand years ago.

Not much is known about this church. Most scholars date the building
to the 10th or 11th century. It was built, using recycled materials coming from other roman and paleochristian edifices in area.

Inside there are a nave and two aisles. The apse is elevated, the altar is placed under a ciborium. Two flights of stairs (left and right) lead to the crypt. Within the 13th and 15th century the interior got adorned with frescoes. Some are still visible.
