The church of San Salvatore dates back to the fifteenth century and is located on the upper part of Bolsena just outside the walls and in front of the Rocca Monaldeschi della Cervara.
The inside of the church was destroyed by a fire in 1914 and then rebuilt following the original design.
On the outside it looks like a gothic style building with a facade and two tower-shaped bell towers, one on either side.
One of the bell towers is without the top floor and this gives the building an original appearance.
The church has three entrances, the main door having a stone frame and in the lunette there is a ceramic sculpture with the image of the Saviour.
Above the main door there is a marble rose window with stained glass, while above the two side doors two mullioned windows give light to the inside of the church.
The interior has a single nave with niches with paintings and the walls have strips of stones of two colours, ochre yellow and grey.
The church is enriched by a refined carved marble altar and a special baptismal font, originally of the Middle Ages, octagonal in shape with colourful ceramic paintings on its sides.
