Chiesa di San Paolo eremita, Gothic church in Brindisi, Italy.

The church has a single nave with a truss ceiling from 1505 and contains Baroque side altars with fragments of 14th-century frescoes.

Built by Franciscans between 1284 and 1322 with support from Robert of Anjou, the church stands on the site of an ancient Roman messapic fortress.

The church houses numerous religious artworks from the 16th and 17th centuries, including the notable painting Madonna della Concordia.

Following extensive restoration work completed in 2018, the church now functions as a diocesan museum open to visitors.

The statue of the Immaculate Virgin, known as Madonna of the Earthquake, changed hand position during the 1743 earthquake according to local records.
