Church of Saint Archangel Michael, Perugia

Tempio di Sant Michele Arcangelo, or the Church of Saint Archangel Michael, is one of the oldest churches in Italy, dating back to approximately the 5th century. Built on the ruins of an earlier Roman temple, this religious building is an example of Palaeo-Christian art, reminiscent of Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome. It features 16 columns and Gothic style arches. In its frescoes you can see mystic symbols of the Knights Templar, whose legendary history is full of secrets. A few meters from the entrance you can see a pentagram, a symbol linked to the cult of Venus, which was associated with black magic in the Middle Ages.
