| Near the small Bramantesco Temple there
is the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, probably built on the
ruins of the Temple of Sango, old divinity identifiable with the
Semo Sancus of the Sabini, but according to another theory it
was built over the oratory and the sacristy of the near Church
of Santa Maria del Sangue.
The first date that can be cited with certainty is the year
1605, when the Bull of Pope Alexander II (1061-1073) was issued
and in this document is mentioned the church. In 1524 it was
opened a new entrance, the high altar was displaced and the
two lateral entrances closed.
In 1825 the Church of San Michele Arcangelo was completely
destroyed, because it was very ruined and rebuilt by Giuseppe
Andreoli in 1834.
