Greccio. Church of Saint Michael Archangel

Greccio. Church of Saint Michael Archangel

The church of Saint Michael Archangel in Greccio was built in 1636 in Baroque style.

It has a single nave covered with a barrel vault and two side chapels.

The high altar is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, patron of Greccio, depicted in a large nineteenth-century anonymous canvas.

Inside are an interesting baptismal font and the two input holy water fonts, made of pink Cottanello marble.

Of considerable merit is a chalice in gilded silver of the nineteenth century and a monstrance of the late seventeenth century.

About fifty meters from the church, on the right, there is a bell tower.

It was built in the seventeenth century on the ruins of one of the towers of the ancient wall.
