The Cloister of San Domenico in Bevagna.
The Cloister of San Domenico, located in the heart of Bevagna, is a place of great charm and history. This cloister is part of the complex of the Church of Saints Domenico and Giacomo, built in 1291 on an ancient oratory dedicated to Saint George. The cloister is decorated with frescoes that tell the story of the life of Blessed Giacomo Bianconi, a central figure in the reconstruction of the town after the siege of the imperial troops of Frederick II.
Walking through the cloister, you can admire the works of Giovanbattista Pacetti, dating back to the 17th century, which narrate significant episodes in the life of Blessed Giacomo. The quiet and contemplative atmosphere of the cloister offers a perfect refuge for those seeking a moment of peace and reflection.
The Church of Saints Domenico and Giacomo, adjacent to the cloister, is also rich in history and art. Inside, there are frescoes from the 14th century and wooden sculptures from the end of the 13th century, including a Madonna with Child and a miraculous Crucifix. The high altar preserves the urn with the body of Blessed Giacomo, while the ancient sarcophagus is walled into the entrance wall of the church.
The Cloister of San Domenico is a place that deserves to be visited for its artistic beauty and its historical value. Bevagna, with its hidden treasures, continues to enchant visitors with its rich cultural heritage.

Here is where the cloister is located:

It was built on an ancient oratory dedicated to San Giorgio, donated by the Municipality to Blessed Giacomo Bianconi in 1291. In recognition of the fundamental role he played in the reconstruction of the town, following the siege of the imperial troops of Frederick II, he obtained permission to place the convent in a central position: in the square next to the Palazzo dei Consoli.
