The Duomo is the principal church of Nocera Umbra and was the mother church of the former [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino|Diocese of Nocera and Gualdo]] until 1986. Located on the summit of the hill, the site is connected to the replacement of pagan worship with Christian worship, with the possibility that a temple to the goddess Favonia once stood here. In the 5th century, when the diocese of Nocera was established, the temple was turned into a church and dedicated to Mary.{{cite web |title=Attrattori turistici |url=https://dati.regione.umbria.it/dataset/turismo-attrattori/resource/1ae8a517-4083-44e2-b141-0c8e613b6052 |website=Open Data Umbria |publisher=Regione Umbria|access-date=26 February 2026}} {{Source-attribution-CC BY 4.0}} |

The 15th-century Church of San Francesco serves as the seat of the Pinacoteca and Municipal Museum. The church has a single-nave plan, articulated by five large arches that mark the bays, and ends in a polygonal apse. The pitched nave roof is supported by the large arches, while the apse has a covering formed by a domed apse vault. Access is placed along the side wall facing the square, so the main front extends along the full length of the church. |
