The Church of the Madonna of Fiamenga is located in one of the most important crossroads of Foligno, immediately outside the city. It dates back to the 12th-13th century; its completion dates back to 1201, but it has been closed to worship since the 19th century.
The structure, commissioned by Foligno and Spello, was first frequented above all by wayfarers. Gradually, it subsequently became one of the reference points of the Foligno community. Documents from the second half of the 16th century mention a guardian hermit who lived in the building next to the church, given the massive influx of pilgrims.
The church is entirely built in Assisi stone and has a rectangular plan, a single nave and a bell gable. Until 1700 there were three altars: now one of them is preserved in the centre of the apse. The apse has an important fresco by Perantonio Mezzastris from 1467, depicting the Madonna enthroned with the Child between saints, musician angels and Christ blessing; the city of Foligno is painted at the foot of the Madonna.
