San Francesco d'Assisi, Gothic minor basilica in Kalsa district, Palermo, Italy
The church presents a Gothic facade with three portals from the 14th century and a central doorway crowned by a reconstructed rose window.
The original structure, built in 1224, was destroyed by Emperor Frederick II, leading to the construction of the current building between 1255 and 1277.
The interior contains works by prominent artists including Francesco Laurana, Domenico Gagini, Pietro Novelli, and Giacomo Serpotta across multiple art periods.
The basilica is temporarily closed for restoration, with parish activities relocated to the former Oratorio dell'Immacolatella near Piazza San Francesco di Assisi.
The Mastrantonio Chapel, created in 1462, represents one of the first Renaissance architectural works in Sicily, marking a transition in artistic styles.
