Caprarola. Church of Saint Michael Archangel

The church of Saint Michael Archangel is the cathedral of Caprarola and was built around 1300, simultaneously with the Anguillara palace which is called Riario.

The building was almost completely destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in 1870.

Inside, on the first altar on the right, is a fifteenth century table depicting the Saviour Blessing, and behind the altar there is a seventeenth-century painting by Francesco Cozza depicting the Madonna in Glory with Child and Saints Peter, Paul, Antonio of Padua, Dominic and Blaise.
