S. Cassiano Prison

Still a few steps up San Fortunato Church, San Cassiano's prison ( Carcere di San Cassiano) lies on the Rocca, the highest part of Todi. This prison was originally a Roman cistern . Here San Cassiano, a Christian martyr, was kept. Later it was transformed into a church and San Fortunato's relics were kept for many years. The entrance to the quadrangular building is through a round arched door lying on two capitals. The two windows were added later.
