San Francesco, Former church and auditorium in Chiavari, Italy.

The San Francesco building features a large central hall with high ceilings and architectural elements from both medieval and baroque periods.

Two nephews of Pope Innocent IV Fieschi established the original church in 1256, with significant renovations by architect Bartolomeo Bianco in 1630.

The auditorium serves as a central venue for concerts, conferences, exhibitions, and theatrical performances, supporting local artistic expression.

Organizations can reserve the space through the municipality website, with rental fees varying between 80 and 120 euros depending on duration.

The structure incorporated the Cadé, an ancient pilgrim hospice, and contains visible sturdy pillars intended for an unfinished bell tower.
