San Ponziano, Spoleto

San Ponziano is a romanesque-style, Former-Benedictine monastery and church located in Spoleto, Province of Perugia, region of Umbria, Italy.

A Benedictine monastery for male monks was present at the site since before the 14th century.

The crypt maintains frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries; it houses a reliquary with the skull of San Ponziano, which is included in a procession on his feast days.

In 1810, the monastery, then housing Benedictine nuns, was suppressed by the Napoleonic government.
