Basilica  di  San  Salvatore  (Spoleto)

Latest update: 26 February 2022
The Basilica di San Salvatore in Spoleto was built in the 4th or 5th century AD and is one of the most important churches still standing from the early Christian period. 

It's included in the UNESCO World Heritage List under their Longobards in Italy: Places of the Power (568-774 AD) inscription along with six other sites in different regions across the country.  
At the time of writing, the Basilica remains closed but it's still possible to walk around its grounds which include a cemetery. It lies away from the town centre and can be a little tricky to find. It's best reached by car but drivers should be aware that the road leading to the church is quite fragile, rocky and narrow in places. The exit road is much easier to navigate.
