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".
