Santo Stefano, Romanesque church in Assisi, Italy.
The Santo Stefano church exhibits rustic Umbrian characteristics with simple stone walls, modified ogival doorway, and a bell gable at the rear exterior.
The medieval church, first documented in 1229, received parish status by 1275 and stands as a representation of twelfth-century religious architecture.
The interior preserves Giottesque frescoes depicting Madonna with Saints Francis and Stephen, alongside a separate crucifixion scene within the single-naved space.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and provides access to the medieval interior featuring Gothic arches, small windows, and original wooden ceiling structures.
Local records indicate the church bells rang spontaneously during the exact moment of Saint Francis's death on October 3, 1226.
