The Basilica of San Michele Maggiore dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries and is one of the most beautiful churches in the Lombard Romanesque style. A previous building having been destroyed by fire in 1004, the construction of the present basilica began towards the end of the 11th century and was certainly completed in 1155, with an interruption due to the great earthquake of 1117. San Michele stands out from the other churches in the city for its intensive use, both for its structure and for its decorations, of fragile ochre-coloured sandstone instead of terracotta. The façade is decorated with a rich repertoire of beautiful sandstone sculptures.

The Basilica of San Miguel, built between 1739 and 1745 by the architect Santiago Bonavía, is one of the most beautiful Spanish Baroque churches in the city.

The Basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro was built at the beginning of the 8th century, in the middle of the Lombard era and is called St. Peter in the Golden Sky because of its golden ceilings. The church was reconsecrated by Pope Innocent II in 1132 after major renovations in Romanesque style. Having fallen into a state of abandonment and ruin after the Napoleonic period, the basilica was restored and partially rebuilt between 1875 and 1899.

The Basilica of San Pietro was built around 996 as an abbey church. In 1398 the abbey was burnt down by the inhabitants of Perugia, who accused Abbot Francesco Guidalotti of conspiracy. In 1591 a thirty-year reconstruction campaign began, led by Valentino Martell, which gave the complex its present style. The abbey was temporarily abolished by the French in 1799, and definitively abolished in 1890 to make way for an "Institute of Agricultural Education", today the Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences of the University of Perugia.

The Basilica of San Sabino is an ancient cathedral, dedicated to San Sabino, bishop of Canosa in the 6th century. Built in the 8th century under the direction of the Lombard Duke Arechis II (758-787), consecrated in 1101 with the participation of Pope Paschal II and often rebuilt, the cathedral houses the tomb of Bohemond I of Antioch, son of Robert Guiscard (Norman adventurer), in an annex on the wall of the south nave. The whole building is influenced by oriental styles. In the 19th century, the first three bays and the neoclassical façade were added.

The Basilica of San Salvatore was founded in 753 as the church of the female monastery of San Salvatore and was completed more than eight centuries later, in 1599. Of the original church, only the structure with three naves marked by columns and capitals is preserved. The church is entirely decorated with some of the richest and best-preserved stuccoes and frescoes of the early Middle Ages. The complex is one of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites that bear witness to the culture of the Lombard people.

The Basilica of San Saturnino dates back to the 12th century but a church was already there in the 6th century according to the writings of Saint Fulgenzio di Ruspe (468-533). In 1089 the complex was given to the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of San Vittore di Marsiglia (Vittorini), who established a priory there. The renovated basilica was consecrated in 1119. In 1444 it came into the possession of the Archdiocese of Cagliari: the monastery was abandoned and the church was restored in 1484.

The Basilica of San Sisto vecchio was first built in the 4th century and rebuilt at the beginning of the 13th century by order of Pope Innocent III (1198-1216). A fresco painted on this occasion and depicting scenes from the New Testament and apocrypha is preserved. The rest of the building, with the exception of the apse and the bell tower, was rebuilt in the 18th century by order of Pope Benedict XIII (1724-1730).

The Collegiate Basilica of San Vittore was built between the 16th and 17th centuries next to the 14th-century Baptistery of St. John. The presbytery, in Mannerist-Renaissance style, was built between 1500 and 1542, the body of the church, also in Mannerist style, was built between 1580 and 1625. Meanwhile, the construction of the Mannerist Baroque bell tower took place over a longer period between the 17th and 18th centuries, as it was erected several times. The neoclassical façade is a later work of the 18th century.
