Montefiascone. Church of San Pancrazio in Nucerino

San Pancrazio is located in the countryside towards the lake and is one of the oldest churches in Montefiascone.

It dates back to the ninth century, as evidenced by a document written by Pope Leo IV.

The simple structure in Romanesque style is a small local square stone building with a gabled roof.

It has a bell gable with a bell on one side.

On the façade, just above the peperino-framed door, there is a single-lancet window which is now incorporated into the structure.

The interior is a single space that ends with an apse and the area of the altar is slightly elevated.

In the apse one can still recognize a fresco representing Christ on the cross between San Pancrazio (to whom the church is dedicated) and Santa Margherita, protector of Montefiascone.

Above the cross one can recognize the dove of the Holy Spirit.
