Iglesia de San Francisco, Gothic church in Avilés, Spain.
The San Francisco Church stands outside the former citadel walls, featuring a north facade portico that marks the transition between Romanesque and Gothic styles.
The construction of this religious building began in 1250, incorporating elements from a previous pre-Romanesque temple that existed at the same location.
The church houses an alabaster baptismal font from the Roman Empire period, representing the early Christian heritage of the Avilés region.
Visitors can access the church from Monday through Saturday between 11:00 and 13:00, with additional evening hours from 18:00 to 19:30.
The structure includes a 17th-century cloister that preserves an original 13th-century Romanesque chapter house within its walls.
