San Francisco Piccolino, Medieval oratory in central Assisi, Italy.

The Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino features stone vaulted ceilings and bare walls, maintaining its original 13th-century architectural elements.

Constructed in the late 13th century by Saint Francis's nephew Piccardo, this oratory stands at the traditional birthplace of Francis of Assisi.

The Latin inscription above the entrance states this building was originally a stable where Saint Francis was born, connecting his birth to Jesus's nativity.

The oratory opens daily for visitors near Chiesa Nuova, offering access to religious and historical architecture from medieval Assisi.

The walls contained frescoes from the 13th to 15th centuries until 1926, when restoration works returned the structure to its initial appearance.
