=== Churches === * ''[[Perugia Cathedral|Cathedral of S. Lorenzo]]'' * [[File:Vetrata San Domenico, Perugia, 2023.jpg|thumb|The stained glass window of the Basilica of San Domenico (1411) in Perugia is 23 meters in height and 8 meters in width, making it one of the largest in the world.]]''[[San Pietro, Perugia|San Pietro]]'': late 16th-century church and abbey. * ''[[San Domenico, Perugia|San Domenico]]'': Basilica church of the Dominican order, building began in 1394 and finished in 1458. Before 1234, this site housed markets and a horse fair. The exterior design attributed to [[Giovanni Pisano]], while its interior redecorated in Baroque fashion by [[Carlo Maderno]]. The massive belfry was partially cut around the mid-16th century. The interior hosts the splendid tomb of [[Pope Benedict XI]] and a wooden choir from the Renaissance period. The stained glass window of the Basilica of San Domenico is one of the biggest in the world. *''[[Church of Sant'Angelo, Perugia|Sant'Angelo]]'', also called ''San Michele Arcangelo'': small paleo-Christian church from the 5th–6th centuries. Sixteen antique columns frame circular layout recalling the Roman church of [[Santo Stefano Rotondo]]. *''[[Sant'Antonio Abate di Perugia|Sant'Antonio Abate]]''. *''[[San Bernardino, Perugia|San Bernardino]]'': church with façade by [[Agostino di Duccio]]. *''[[Sant'Ercolano, Perugia|San Ercolano]]'': 14th-century church that resembles a polygonal tower. This church once had two floors. Its upper floor was demolished when the Rocca Paolina was built. Baroque interior decorations commissioned from 1607. The main altar has a sarcophagus found in 1609. *''[[Santa Giuliana, Perugia|Santa Giuliana]]'': church and monastery founded by heir of a female monastery in 1253. In its later years, the church gained a reputation for dissoluteness. Later, the Napoleonic forces turned the church into a granary. Now, the church is a military hospital. The church, with a single nave, bears only traces of 13th century frescoes, which probably used to cover all of the walls. The cloister is a noteworthy example of mid-14th-century Cistercian architecture from {{Interlanguage link|Matteo Gattaponi|it}}. The upper part of the ''[[campanile]]'' is from the 13th century. *''[[San Bevignate]]'': church of the [[Knights Templar|Templar]]. *[[Chiesa of San Prospero (Perugia)|Chiesa of San Prospero]]. *[[Church of the Compagnia della morte|Church of the Compagnia della Morte]]. <gallery mode="nolines" widths="160" heights="160"> File:Perugia - Cattedrale di San Lorenzo.jpeg|''[[Perugia Cathedral|Cathedral of S.
