San Girolamo, Spello
San Girolamo is a 15th-century Roman Catholic church located in Spello, province of Perugia, region of Umbria, Italy. History The church and adjacent Franciscan monastery were built in 1472-1482 under the patronage of Braccio II Baglioni, then lord of Spello. It remained under the Order of Friars Minor until suppression during the Napoleonic era. The monks returned in 1815, but by 1826 most had been moved to the former convent of Santa Caterina di Rapecchiano. A second suppression occurred in 1866, although monks remained until the 20th century. In 1885, a plot of the adjacent orchard became the communal cemetery. In 1965 the municipal government assigned the convent to a community of Piccoli Fratelli di p. C. de Foucault, who have since remained. The church can be accessed from both an external portico and the monastic cloister. The church has a cross-shaped layout with a single nave flanked by lateral altars, ending in rounded apse. Interior artworks Like many Franciscan churches, the exterior is austere; but the interior has numerous painted decorations. Many of the authors of the paintings remain anonymous. On the counterfacade are paintings depicting St Trophimus of Arles and St Felix and Angel (18th-century). On the right
