Nice church in the heart of Viterbo. Concerts are organized during the Alessandro Stradella festival in September.

Church of a beautiful extraordinary pity for the frescoes that have been lost over the centuries those that remain of excellent workmanship are very fascinating

Definitely worth a visit. The three-nave church is very old, built entirely of stone. The small crypt under the main altar and the ancient cloister are particularly striking

Romanesque church located in the historic center, not far from the medieval quarter of San Pellegrino and Piazza San Lorenzo. It is the seat of the oldest parish in the city, dating back to 1217. The importance that Santa Maria Nuova assumed over the centuries is due to the fact that the church was a favorite place for the most important assemblies by the Municipality, at least until the palazzo dei priori, as well as for the preservation of treasure and citizens' archive. The church was also home to the Arte dei Bifolchi and burial of noble families, including the Monaldeschi. Divided into three naves with two rows of six columns and two monolithic half-columns surmounted by capitals completely different from each other, similar to those of the local cathedral and for which it seems to have served as a model, a true masterpiece of both valid and unknown Viterbo stonemasons. table by an uncertain author of the 16th century which depicts the Madonna and Child between St. Bartholomew and St. Lawrence. Following are two large frescoed niches: in the first is a crucifixion between the Madonna, San Giovanni, Sant'Ambrogio, another saint and angels by Francesco d'Antonio Zacchi, called the Balletta. In the arch are medallions with saints Lorenzo, Paolo, Giovanni Battista, Michele Arcangelo, Pietro, Stefano and the blessing Redeemer; in the second niche is another crucifixion with the Madonna, San Giovanni, Santa Barbara and San Nicola, dated 1293, from the Tuscan school; in the archivolt are San Lorenzo and the coat of arms of the Monaldeschi, whose sepulcher was located there.
