| The church of San Fortunato in Todi is dedicated to and holds the relics of Saint Fortunatus, a 6th-century bishop of Todi. San Fortunato began as a Palaeo-Christian temple (7th century) and in 1292 the construction of a new Gothic edifice was begun by the Franciscans, with a hall structure. There are five carved cylinders spiral around the central doorway with exquisitely carvings. The niche at left holds a statue of the archangel Gabriel of Annunciation fame. |
