Basilica of San Salvatore

San Salvatore is a romanesque-style, former basilica church located in the center of Spoleto, Umbria. The Lombards’ renovation of the church dates back to the eighth century and it is testimony to the architectural style of the Longobardia Minor, marking the transition from Antiquity to the European Middle Ages.

In 2011 was declared a UNESCO world heritage property as part of the series of sites known as “Longobards in Italy. Places of the power (568-774 A.C.)”, which comprises seven sites throughout Italy characterized by lombard elements of architecture, painting, sculpture and art.

San Salvatore is located in the monumental cemetery of Spoleto, upon Ciciano hill, outside the medieval town walls. The cemetery was designed in 1836 by the architect Ireneo Aleandri.
