5546 - Chiesa di Santa Maria in Colombella


This church consumed a lot of my time. We saw it from the road back from Gubbio. I knew it was on the right side. The image has a timestamp, but I know the camera’s clock has been off by some amount.

In the end, I drove the whole road from Gubbio to Perugia twice on Google Street View. It didn’t find it. One day later, I searched the most likely area in Google Maps' satellite view. That’s how I finally found it. Then I tried Street View again. Yes, now I found the crossing, but with the wide-angle perspective, it was all too easy to miss.

To add insult to injury: when we were there, the church was closed 😃
