Perugia – Church of San Ercolano
The imposing octagonal church of S. Ercolano in PERUGIA (UMBRIA),
was originally founded at the end of the thirteenth century on the
site where Saint Herculanus was martyred by Totila’s Goths in
547. The upper part was torn down when Rocca Paolina was built. The
double staircase on the facade with its slender pointed arches and
a row of blind arcading under the upper cornice dates to 1607. The
high altar rests on a late third-century Roman sarcophagus containing
the earthly remains of the Saint.
