Chiesa_S_Benedetto_4

It is located on the homonymous street, just outside the walls. Benedictine Abbey of the XIII century, from architecture well preserved, with two doors and a pointed trefoil lancet, an inscription in Roman numerals indicating the date stone of 1337, the interior has a nave arches and two side chapels to cruise and retains only the three-fifteenth-century frescoes of the school of Gubbio, including what is perhaps the oldest portrait of pope (Urban V). The residential part of the abbey was renovated and expanded in recent decades.
