Churches in Perugia

While the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi is certainly Umbria's most recognized church, the Basilica of San Domenico in Perugia is the region's largest church.

The beautiful Cathedral of St Lorenzo in Perugia was originally designed in 1300 by Fra Bevignate, who planned to build the religious building over the ruins of an ancient basilica.

At Perugia's high point is a highlight piece of artwork in the Cappella San Severo.

The most imposing church in Perugia is also the most visible, thanks to its high-rise bell tower that stands out as a landmark.

Located in the heart of Perugia off of Corso Garibaldi, the Gothic church of Sant'Agostino is worth a visit.
