The Lapidary Museum of Todi is located in the historic center of the city and is located inside the church of San Giovanni and in the two rooms surrounding the Monastery of the Lucrezie. The Museum was founded in 2009 to house the collection of stone artefacts that belonged to the municipality. The collection is divided into two large chronological sections from the Roman, medieval and modern periods. The first part exhibits artifacts that come from funerary monuments, both from the necropolis and from other types of burials. For example, the section includes: monumental tombs with Doric friezes and metopes, cinerary urns, tombstones with dedications and marble altars. Of great interest is certainly a funerary altar in white marble reused as a holy water stoup. The second section houses decorative elements and sculptures originally intended for the main places of the city. The coats of arms, the inscriptions, the tombstones and the measuring samples constitute an important historical and religious testimony of the city. Also of historical importance is the plaque with the inscription of the castle of Pontecuti from 1248 which recalls the construction works of the bridge.
