One such gem is the Church of St. Paolo Apostolo, where visitors can immerse themselves in its breathtaking interior. Stepping inside this sacred space feels like stepping back in time.

As you explore further, your eyes will be drawn to another masterpiece: "Madonna with Infant Jesus and St. Simeon, " a stunning fresco from the second half of the 15th century. Its intricate details and vibrant colors bring this holy scene to life before your very eyes. But Foligno's artistic heritage doesn't stop there; it extends far beyond religious art.
