S. Michele di Cortigno

The Belfry

[image ALT: zzz]

The belfry, built between the 16c and the 18c, is of a type seen thruout Umbria but the masonry is particularly good.

Notice the bits of old carvings used as decoration; not Roman, but early medieval
— see for yourself.

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

Thanks to
Roberto Savi
for encouraging me to use his photos of the bell on my site.
