The Camaldolese abbey of San Salvatore has been mentioned in sources since at least 1023, although tradition has it that it was founded near a spring of therapeutic waters shortly after the year 1000 by San Romualdo, abbot founder of the Camaldoli hermitage.
The current structure retains the forms of the thirteenth-century Umbrian Gothic with a beautiful entrance portal and a smooth upper rose window and with buttresses and single lancet windows on the sides. Inside you can see important frescoes from the Umbrian-Marche school dating from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century and a painting of the Madonna di Loreto from 1572 attributed to Camillo Angelucci di Mevale. The altar along the right wall was built to house the relics of Blessed Angelo, a Camaldolese hermit who lived in a cave on the slopes of Monte Tolagna until 1313, the year of his death.
