Chiesa di S.Eustachio

The Church of Sant’Eustachio is a rectangular hall, ending in a rectangular apse, an arrangement that feels both practical and deliberate. Inside, the broad, flat-ceilinged nave leads the eye toward the barrel-vaulted apse, flanked by two semicircular niches set within a motif of pilasters and a cornice. Three arched bays line each side, the central one wider; a continuous cornice runs the perimeter, broken only by the main arches and the choir gallery. Light enters through lunettes above those central arches and a large window on the entrance wall.

The façade is composed with giant pilasters framing a rectangular portal with corbelled cymas, and above it, the large window, itself flanked by small pilasters. A projecting triangular pediment crowns the composition. To the right, the bell tower rises beside the façade, its belfry extending above the roofline. The structure is rendered in plastered tuff masonry, with a timber-framed, tiled roof. It is a church of straightforward clarity, its ornamentation serving the geometry rather than overwhelming it.
