Sant'Eufemia

Sant'Eufemia. The Church opens out into the courtyard of the Bishopric in via A. Saffi. It dates back to the twelfth century and is one of the most interesting examples of the local interpretation of the Romanesque style in Spoleto. In the matroneum there are obvious indications of influence from the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. The façade is divided up by horizontal moulding into two sloping parts with a central raising emphasised by hanging arches along the entire upper part of the building. On the base there is a two light mullioned window. Two simple one light windows and a graceful portal with concentric layers complete the façade.

On the inside, the vertical thrust is obvious. The church has an apse and is made of a nave and two rather narrow side aisles divided by pillars and columns previously used elsewhere. A nartex joins the two side matronea. Noteworthy pictorial works decorate it and a lovely marble antependium made in 1200 can be admired on the main altar
