Castiglione in Teverina. Collegiate Church of St. Philip and James

The church of St. Philip and James was finished in 1630 and has a Renaissance style facade in Castiglione in Teverina.

In the central entrance is a frame made of travertine that reads: "SS. IACOB. PHILIP ET. December A.D. MDCXXX".

Connected to the structure is smmira the bell tower with double belfry: the bottom has four bells and the top has a bell attached to a clock.

The tower bells are then covered with a metal pyramid.

The interior has three naves with four side altars and in the greater central nave, there is a seventeenth-century wooden tabernacle with six silver-plated copper candlesticks made by Scalza in 1783.

The baptismal font from the late fifteenth century is in finely worked stone and the church is adorned with valuable works like a wooden crucifix of the fifteenth century and a painting attributed to the Master of Castiglione.

In the side altars can be admired paintings ranging from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century
