Basilica of San Salvatore, Spoleto
The Basilica of San Salvatore, on Ciciano hill, is incorporated inside Spoleto cemetery, outside the medieval city walls.
The facade originally had a crowning triangular pediment and was preceded by a portico. Today it is divided into two levels: on the bottom there are three elegant stone portals, and Roman-themed friezes on the lintels; at the top there are three windows. The sides are topped by a pediment with a triangular gable, while the centre has two pillars supporting a rounded arch with the ring decorated with classical motifs. Traces of plaster on the front suggest that it was covered for the entire higher order. |
