The oratory is located in Morra, just a few kilometers from Città di Castello.
Built in 1420 and expanded in 1507, the oratory is dedicated to the Roman soldier Crescentino, a witness to the Christian faith in the Upper Tiber Valley and martyr in 303 AD by order of Emperor Diocletian. The interior, with a single nave, preserves in the sacristy late Gothic frescoes related to the original structure and, along the walls, decoration executed by the workshop of the Cortona artist Luca Signorelli (1450-1523). Only the scenes of the Flagellation and the Crucifixion are by the artist himself.
