Perugia – Church and former Monastery of Santa Giuliana

The church was begun in PERUGIA (UMBRIA) in 1253 and was subsequently altered more than once. The facade and the geometric patterns in pink and white stone with a Gothic portal and rose window date to the fourteenth century. The interior, renovated in the sixteenth and in the eighteenth century, still has some of its original fresco decorations. Formerly a convent of the Cistercian nuns – of interest the cloister attributed to Gattapone – it was transformed into a military hospital in the nineteenth century. Today it houses the Foreign Language School of the Italian Armed Forces.
