Paciano
was founded around the XIV century, on a spur of Monte Petrarvella.
Its origins are still today very well testified by the town-walls with
towers and access doors and by the Tower of Orlando: a ruin of a more
ancient village few kilometers away from the town. Its dominant
position offers one of the most beautiful sights over the whole region.
The
church of S.Carlo is characterized by an elegant door dating back to
XVII century. It accommodates, among the paintings of local painters,
those of Francesco di Castel della Pieve, which is believed to be
the master of the Perugino. Other works of remarkable artistic interest
are preserved in the church of S.Giuseppe: " Madonna della Misericordia" of
the workshop of the Bonfigli, in the center of the Confraternita of
the Sacramento: "Madonna e Santi"and in the church of SS.
Rocco and Sebastiano: "Madonna and S.Sebastiano".
