Franciscan Friary, Gothic friary in Bolzano, Italy
The Franciscan complex includes a church with three-aisled nave, a 44-meter tower completed in 1376, and cloisters decorated with medieval frescoes.
Founded in 1221 when Franciscan friars obtained permission from the Bishop of Trento to preach in Bolzano, establishing a settlement near the city walls.
The church contains a late Gothic winged altar from 1500 by Hans Klocker and modern stained glass windows created by Josef Widmoser.
Located at Via Vintler 25 in central Bolzano, the friary stands north of Piazza delle Erbe Square and maintains regular religious services.
During World War II, the church suffered severe damage from aerial bombing in March 1944 but underwent complete reconstruction in subsequent years.
