Upper Façade of San Michele in Foro
This close view reveals the extraordinary detail of San Michele’s Romanesque façade (the 11th-14th cc.), where each column differs—twisted, carved, or inlaid. Between the arches, fantastical beasts and floral motifs unfold in rhythmic abundance. The bronze-winged Archangel Michael crowns the structure, once said to emit a green glow when light struck his wings just right.
