										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was built on an ancient oratory dedicated to St. George, donated by the Municipality to Blessed Giacomo Bianconi in 1291. As a sign of recognition for the fundamental role he played in the reconstruction of the town, after the siege of the imperial troops of Frederick II, he obtained to place the convent in a central position: in the square next to the Palazzo dei Consoli.</p>
<p>In the façade, there is a fine polystyle portal from the end of the 14<sup>th </sup>century, adorned in the lunette by a fresco in a poor state of preservation. The interior subjected to various renovations and restored in the 20<sup>th</sup> century, has a single and luminous nave.</p>
<p>There are some remains of the eighteenth-century altars that adorned the walls of the church on the beautiful fronts and significant altarpieces, some of which are attributed to Ascensidonio Spacca from Bevagna (16<sup>th</sup> century).</p>
<p>In the choir, there are the remains of an important cycle of frescoes assigned to a master of Assisi culture, linked to the first Giottesks.</p>
<p>In the side chapels, two wooden sculptures from the end of the 13<sup>th</sup> century are preserved: on the left the Madonna with the Child, on the right a beautiful Crucifix considered miraculous. On the main altar (17<sup>th</sup> century), an urn preserves the body of the Blessed Giacomo, while the ancient sarcophagus is walled in the entrance wall of the church.</p>
<p>In the adjoining convent, there is the cloister, decorated with stories from the life of the Blessed Giacomo, by Giovanbattista Pacetti (17th century). In the chapter room, there are frescoes from the mid-13<sup>th </sup>century.</p>
<p>Descending Via del Gonfalone, behind the apse of the church of Saints Domenico e Giacomo, we find conspicuous remains of a Roman building in mixed construction, probably dating back to the 2<sup>nd</sup> century A.D., which could be port facilities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Built at the end of the 13<sup>th</sup> century on the ancient church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, it stands on the highest place in the city, where it was certainly a Roman temple. The gabled façade is adorned with an elegant rounded polystyle portal, with foliated capitals in marble.</p>
<p>The interior, with a single nave, was completely renovated in the 18th century; you can admire paintings by Dono Doni and Ascensidonio Spacca. A small door on the right leads to an inner chapel with frescoes dating back to the 16th century. Next to the altar, in a chapel, there is a stone on which San Francesco placed his feet when he preached to the birds in Pian d’Arca. The second chapel on the right, perhaps a work by Galeazzo Alessi, preserves a beautiful 15<sup>th</sup> century tabernacle; the small dome is adorned with glazed earthenware attributed to Santi Buglioni.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The epigraph to the right of the portal allows us to date the construction of this building to 1195, due to the master Binello.</p>
<p>The unfinished façade consists of travertine blocks in the lower part and Subasio stone blocks in the upper part. A frame with zoomorphic protons also crowns it. In the center, there is the beautiful portal, richly decorated with friezes and it is surmounted by a wide three-light window with paired columns. At the sides two mullioned windows supported by twisted columns.</p>
<p>The interior, of suggestive simplicity, is divided into three naves by robust columns with Corinthian capitals. On the right, a pillar served as a support for the bell tower.</p>
<p>A barrel vault covers the central nave, while the lateral vaults are rampant. Above the crypt, accessed from the left aisle, stands the presbytery supported by two columns, one of which is a recovery column.</p>

<p>The unfinished facade has a travertine cladding with fluted pilasters from a Roman building. The church, after various vicissitudes, was used as a cinema until the 1970s. Today only the side walls and the façade remain. Inside there is the mosaic by Aldo Ajò created in 1941 for the inauguration of the city cinema, which represents the three cities, Bevagna, Spello, Assisi, which compete for the birth of the Latin poet Sesto Aurelio Properzio.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Built by Binello and Rodolfo between the 12<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup> centuries, it has undergone numerous renovations over the course of time; the restoration of 1951-1957 removed the eighteenth-century decorations.</p>
<p>The church has a travertine façade with a horizontal crowning, divided at the top by pilasters and a frame with protomes. The beautiful portal is adorned with a frieze that develops in three orders along the arch and uses, in the jambs, Roman frames reworked. On the right of the façade, the bell tower rises and after modified in the fifteenth century.</p>
<p>The interior, with three naves, has a raised presbytery and a high crypt, divided into four aisles by columns, some of which are salvaged.</p>
<p>In the right aisle, there is the seventeenth-century baptismal font, followed by the chapel of the S.S. Sacramento, renewed in the nineteenth century by Vitali and decorated by Traversari. Next to it, there is the chapel of the Madonna Del Carmine with frescoes by Andrea Camassei, dating back to about 1625. The processional statue of Saint Vincent is at the right of the entrance, which was made at public expense in 1638.</p>
<p>In the left aisle there was a beautiful fifteenth-century crucifix with wooden silhouettes depicting the Madonna, the Magdalene and St. John, attributed to the Providoni now preserved in the Civic Museum.</p>
<p>In a room adjacent to the presbytery there is the silver statue of St. Vincent, patron saint of Bevagna, executed by Peter Ramoser. In the back of the chair, completed in 1785, there is depicted the martyrdom of the Saint with the view of Bevagna in the background.</p>
