Church of Saint Catherine and Medieval Houses

Highlight • Religious Site

The medieval church of Santa Caterina in Foligno stands out for its sober architecture and its devotional function in the historic center. Adjacent to the church are well-preserved medieval houses, whose stone and brick facades contribute to the original atmosphere of the urban fabric. The church and surrounding buildings offer a striking example of medieval Foligno, still visible today.

Santa Maria Infraportas Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, among the oldest in Foligno, stands on the western side of Piazza San Domenico, where there was an 8th century chapel dedicated to the Assumption, Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
There is information that in 1087 the hospital of Santa Maria was annexed to it.
The construction of the Romanesque church took place in the 12th century, the original chapel was incorporated into the left nave.
The façade in bands of white and pink stone is the result of an unfortunate nineteenth-century rearrangement which reused elements of a previous rose window to create a mullioned window, not proportionate to the façade; it is preceded by a small portico, also rebuilt in the 19th century, reusing columns and capitals from the 11th or 12th century.
To the right of the portico there is an aedicule dating back to 1480 with a sketch of a fresco of Sant'Anna attributable to Mezzastris; at the end of the right side is the Romanesque bell tower.

Don Minzoni Square and the Church of Sant’Apollinare

Highlight • Historical Site

Piazza Don Minzoni is an open, bright urban space nestled in the heart of Foligno's medieval center. At the center of the square is a modern fountain with simple lines that organizes the space and serves as its visual focal point. The church of Sant'Apollinare overlooks the square, one of the oldest in the city, whose medieval origins reinforce the site's historic character. Named after Don Giovanni Minzoni, the square today combines a civic and commemorative function with the daily life of the historic center.
