Churches of Monteleone di Spoleto

S. Caterina: a sentinel on the walls of the town, undergoing a major restoration in 2004.
In the valley below, Ruscio: if you squint, you can see the church of the Madonna Addolorata.

Outlying Churches

Ruscio:
S. Maria Addolorata

In addition to the churches above, which I've seen, at least in part, there are even more that I haven't seen: the important church of S. Antonio, sharing some walls with S. Francesco; the Chiesa della Croce, at some slight distance from the actual town; and, outlying, the Madonna delle Grazie on nearby Colle Faggio, the Madonna degli Angeli at Butino, the Madonna di Castelvecchio, the churches of S. Anna at Rescia, S. Erasmo at Trivio, S. Antonio at Ruscio, and S. Lucia near Ruscio at the foot of the hill of Monteleone; finally, the oldest of them all, S. Maria de Equo in the midst of the countryside in the plain of Ruscio, with remnants of high-medieval and late Roman stone. I hope to travel back to Monteleone soon, of course.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
