TEMPIO MALATESTIANO
It is one of the most beautiful monuments of the Renaissance. The old Gothic church was transformed between 1447 and 1460 by Sigismondo Malatesta, who is buried there. To do this, he called on the greatest artists of his time: for the façade, the Florentine architect Leon Battista Alberti was inspired by ancient Roman architecture and the model of the triumphal arch. Inside, there is a remarkable fresco by Piero della Francesca depicting Sigismondo Malatesta praying in front of San Sigismondo. Behind the altar is a Crucifix made by Giotto in 1312.
