You absolutely should not forget to visit the 14th century church of St. Francis, which is now the seat of the Civic Museum; in fact, inside, you’ll find many paintings of great artistic value such as the “Nativity” by Perugino and the extraordinary cycle of frescoes: ” The Stories of St. Francis by Benozzo Gozzoli. Near the inhabitated area you’ll find the 16th century church of St. Illuminata and the 15th century church of St. Fortunato which contains, in the lunette of the portal and in the altar to the right, works of art by Benozzo Gozzoli.
