Temple of San Michele Arcangelo

Discover one of Perugia’s oldest Christian monuments, where an unusual circular design sets it apart from the city’s medieval churches! The Temple of San Michele Arcangelo, this early Christian building stands in the northern part of the historic centre, near the medieval walls and Porta Sant’Angelo. Its rounded exterior gives little away about the fascinating arrangement inside, where a central space is surrounded by an ambulatory, divided by ancient reused columns. The surrounding neighbourhood combines historic streets, medieval fortifications and green spaces, while the church itself stands in an elevated position, on one of the highest points of the city.
