Monteluco is a ''frazione'' (borough) of the ''comune'' of Spoleto, in Umbria, central Italy. Having a population of just 27, it is located on a limestone mountain covered by woods, at 780 meters over the sea level. The name derives from the Latin ''lucus'', meaning a wood sacred to Jupiter. At the entrance of the wood was found a stone copy of the ''Lex luci spoletina'', written in Old Latin and dating to the 3rd century BC. St. Francis of Assisi lived here for a short period in 1218. Sights include: *Convent of St. Francis (13th century) *Romanesque church of St. Peter (5th century), in Romanesque style *Church of St. Julian (12th century), in Romanesque style, built over a pre-existing 6th century. The interior is on a nave and two aisles, with semicircular apses and a crypt *Grottoes of the Hermits ==External links== *(Historical informations ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monteluco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
