The Church of Saint Angelo is located in the medieval part of the city of Anagni and dates back to the thirteenth century. It then underwent several reconstructions in the Baroque period and finally in the eighteenth century during the neoclassical period.
The current façade is very geometric with a portico with four arches dug into a square facade. To mark the importance of the building, a temple-shaped decoration with three columns emerges from the façade. The rear, on the other hand, still reveals the Romanesque features of the church with an apse with decorations of pilasters and arches.
The interior has three naves with neoclassical decorations and an elegant inlaid marble altar. Behind the altar is a painting of St. Michael the Archangel while defeating the demon who crushes with his left foot.
The church is enriched by a hexagonal baptismal font with eighteenth-century bas-reliefs and an important organ. Among the works of art there is some 15th century Byzantine iconography representing a Madonna with Angels. In the church there is the statue of Saint Anthony of Padua that is carried in procession on June 13th.
The church is run by the Conventual Fathers from the 16th century, while the adjoining convent is owned by the municipality.
