Belforte del Chienti - St. Eustace Church

 
The church was built in 1218, but its current structure derives from further restorations after the terrible earthquake in 1741. The church dates back to the 13th century, but its current structure derives from further restorations after the terrible earthquake in 1741. Moreover, it is not its external shape to make it worth a visit, but the important treasures held inside: the Polyptych by Giovannni Boccati in 1468. The late-gothic polyptych (4,83 x 3,25 m) is surrounded by a refined gold wood frame and it consists of five panels representing the Madonna on the throne and her child, and the Crucifixion. In addition, there are eighteen mirrors and five medallions; one of them shows God near the Angels and four religious characters of the Latin Church: Saint Ambrogio, Girolamo, Agostino and Gregorio Magno.
