Segni. Church of Saint Stephen

Segni. Church of Saint Stephen

According to a tradition, the church of St Stephen was built between the first and second century on the initial place of christian worship in Segni, transforming a synagogue.

In fact this area was also called Judea.

The current church was rebuilt after the fire of 1557.

It presents a neoclassical temple-shaped facade between two buildings that have roofs with the same incline as the facade.

Next to the church, at the back, is a medieval Romanesque bell tower that ends with a flat roof and two types of openings.
