Chiesa di San Francesco, Gothic church in Alghero, Italy
The Chiesa di San Francesco features a triangular bell tower and contains a polychrome marble altar adorned with statues of the Virgin Mary, Saint Francis, and Saint Anthony.
The church, constructed in the 14th century, underwent significant reconstruction during the 15th century to incorporate the Catalan Gothic architectural style that replaced its original design.
The church cloister, supported by 22 sandstone columns connecting round arches, hosts summer concerts that bring together both residents and visitors of Alghero.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 9:15 AM to 12:30 PM and 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, with modified evening hours on certain days.
Within the church walls stands a wooden sculpture called 'Christ at the Column' that presents an unconventional interpretation of religious artistry.
