Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Piazza F. Silvestri

Bevagna, known since Etruscian times and part of the Papal States from 778 on, was burnt down by Barbarossa´s troop in 1152, but was even then economically strong enough, to have three churches built in the center of town end of the 12th century. One of them is San Silvestro, located opposite of San Michele on the Piazza F. Silvestri. It was erected in 1195 as well by the architects Rodolfo and Binello. The interior is sober Romanesque. The choir is risen. Below the choir is a large crypt. It was pretty dark - and I could not find the light switch. I could not look any longer for the switch, as the person with the key had arrived. He made very clear, that he wanted to lock the door. Now.

The portal is - compared to San Silvestro´s - humble, but has as well a "signature" seen here.

The large building to the left ist the Palazzo dei Consoli (1270).
