The Crypt Of San Magno, Anagni, Italy. 🇮🇹

An extraordinary example of Italian medieval religious art lies hidden in the historic town of Anagni, located about an hour southeast of Rome. Also known as the City of Popes (four Popes hailed from the town), Anagni is crowned by its beauty. Romanesque cathedral dating back to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries CE.

Under the cathedral floor, the magnificent crypt of Saint Magnus provides an extraordinary example of 13th-century medieval religious art with its different cycles and representations, decorating a space that measures over 500 square meters.

Three craftsmen known as the “masters of Anagni” are believed to have been responsible for the different cycles, which represent the story of man’s salvation from creation to the end of time, with apocalyptic overtones, and several walls are adorned with stories of local saints and martyrs.
