The Medieval village of Cetona

The typical village of Cetona rises inside the remains of the fifteenth-century ring of walls. It is characterized by the typical Medieval features that are visible both in the buildings characterized by their red colors and by their stone-made roads.

Very interesting are the religious buildings that save the features of their ancient building, like the Saint Michael Archangel Church that saves fourteenth-century works by the Umbrian school and the thirteenth-century building of the Collegiate Church that rises on the top of a large staircase and saves fine fifteenth-century frescoes, like "Our Lady's Assumption" painted by Pinturicchio (1454-1513).
