Montefalco Attractions

From Bevagna it is 7km/4.5mi up a winding road, with sharp bends, to the little walled hill- town of Montefalco (473m/1,561ft; pop. 5,500), with churches which contain fine examples of Umbrian painting: outside the town gate the monastic church of Santa Chiara, inside the gate the church of Sant'Agostino and in the town the former church of San Francesco (now a museum), with frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli (1452). There are also frescoes by Gozzoli in the church of San Fortunato, 1.5km/1mi south of the town.
