Art, Culture, Environment

In the vicinity of the castle, there is a small church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, developed as an extension of a more modest original structure, identifiable by the volume on the right side of the main one. Although the actual date of construction of the church is still uncertain, documentation found in the civil status of the municipality of San Venanzo indicates that the church served as a parish from 1573. The layout is set on a single nave covered with decorated ribbed vaults, on four spans, the last of which is occupied by the presbytery, and two shallow side chapels with decorated and stuccoed masonry altars, as well as the high altar. Two altarpieces from the 18th century can be found inside, as well as a copy of the Archangel Michael painted by Guido Reni.

The Castle Civitella dei Conti is dating back to the 14th century, and the Bulgarelli counts of Marsciano used it to monitor possible invasions. Tower, perimeter walls, and underground prisons, all of which were part of the original structure, still exist. Currently the Castle of Civitella dei Conti is privately owned and well protected as a historical, artistic and cultural monument.
