Church of San Salvatore – Maggiore Island

Church of San Salvatore – Maggiore Island

Church

The building, dating back to the twelfth century, is initially striking for its beautiful stone portal with reliefs representing animals and decorations with plant motifs. The coat of arms of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and a figurine representing the Angel, symbol of St. Matthew the Evangelist, survive from the original composition of the facade.
The church, which preserves two wooden statues, one of which depicting San Francesco, has a single nave, with a transept and a semicircular apse. The interior has lost most of its paintings, but a fragment of a 15th-century fresco with the figure of an angel is still preserved in the apse.
