Santo Stefano, Assisi

The building, in Romanesque style, was erected perhaps as early as the mid-eleventh century,[1] although most sources date it to the mid-twelfth.

A small niche was added to the façade in the early fourteenth century and once contained a fresco of angels that is now very faded.

[1] It is also clear that at some point the doorway was rebuilt, since its original form was rounded, and now the arch is ogival in shape.

The interior, which has maintained much of the original medieval appearance, has a single nave with Gothic arches, small windows and a wooden ceiling.

One, by a Giottesque painter, depicts the Madonna with Saints Francis and Stephen, and the other is a crucifixion scene.
