San Lucchese, Franciscan convent and minor basilica in Poggibonsi, Italy
The Gothic style religious complex stands on a hill with a single-nave church, three apse chapels, and a cloister decorated with frescoes.
The original church Santa Maria in Camaldo, founded in 1010, was given to Francis of Assisi in 1220 during his second journey to Valdelsa.
The convent holds significant artworks, including a 14th-century credenza with 17 painted saint figures by Memmo di Filippuccio in the sacristy.
The religious complex maintains regular opening hours for visitors and serves as an active parish church for the local community.
The basilica contains the relics of Saint Lucchese, the first Franciscan tertiary, who died in 1251 after transforming from a merchant to a religious figure.
